Two-way guard Daniss Jenkins delivered a breakout performance in one of the most memorable games of his young career, helping the Detroit Pistons to a dramatic overtime win.
In what was only his 13th NBA appearance, Jenkins played 34 minutes and filled the stat sheet with 24 points, eight rebounds, four steals, and three assists.
His biggest moment came at the end of regulation, when he buried a corner three-pointer at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.
“You dream of stuff like this,” Jenkins told Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press.
“To come out and really hit that type of shot, I didn’t know what to do. I was just filled with a lot of joy and excitement and just congratulating myself, staying true to the journey, staying true to everything. I have to practice what I preach. This life is a marathon, everything is a marathon. My journey is a marathon.”
