Nic Antaya, Getty Images/AFP</div>LOS ANGELES -- Daniss Jenkins scored a career-high 30 points as the Detroit Pistons halted the Los Angeles Lakers&#x27; nine-game winning streak with a 113-110 victory on Monday.A heavyweight showdown between Eastern Conference leaders Detroit and the in-form Lakers did not disappoint, with Los Angeles recovering from a 16-point deficit in the second half to take the game to the wire.Austin Reaves put the Lakers 110-109 ahead with 30 seconds remaining with a floating jump shot but Jenkins scored Detroit&#x27;s final four points for a hard-earned win.Luka Doncic, who finished with 32 points, launched a last-gasp three-point attempt that could have forced overtime, but his effort fell short.Detroit lined up again without star point guard Cade Cunningham, absent indefinitely after suffering a collapsed lung.In Cunningham&#x27;s absence, Jenkins stepped up to lead the Pistons, while Jalen Duren added 20 points with 11 rebounds and Duncan Robinson 12 points.&quot;I&#x27;m no longer surprised,&quot; Pistons coach JB Bickerstaff said of Jenkins.&quot;When he&#x27;s gotten the opportunity he&#x27;s delivered for us.&quot;Whether it&#x27;s throughout the game or in clutch moments, he finds a way to impact winning. He deserves a lot of credit tonight.&quot;The Lakers will wrap up a six-game road trip against the lowly Indiana Pacers on Wednesday before returning to California.Doncic&#x27;s 32 points were complemented by 24 from Reaves.LeBron James narrowly missed out on a triple-double, scoring 12 points on top of 10 assists and nine rebounds.Detroit improved to 52-19 to extend their lead at the top of the Eastern Conference to five games clear of the Boston Celtics (47-24).The Lakers fell to 46-26 and remained third in the Western Conference with a two-game cushion over fourth-placed Houston.Elsewhere, the Oklahoma City Thunder made it 12 wins in a row with a 123-103 blowout over the Philadelphia 76ers on the road.The depleted Sixers were never in contention against the Western Conference leaders, who led by double-digits from early in the second quarter.Reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 22 points on a night when six Thunder players finished in double figures.The win kept Oklahoma City three games clear of the chasing San Antonio Spurs with a 57-19 record. San Antonio stayed in touch at the top of the West with a 136-111 drubbing of the Miami Heat in Florida.Victor Wembanyama&#x27;s 26 points led the Spurs scoring, with Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson each scoring 21 points off the bench.
