Ignite trailed the Grand Rapids Gold by five points at three quarter-time, but reeled off a stunning 38-15 last term to win 123-106.
After a quiet first-half offensively, Daniels finished with 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists.
His defence was impressive all game against a Grand Rapids team that featured NBA-experienced players Lance Stephenson, Nik Stauskas, Mario Chalmers and Shabazz Muhammad.
Ignite will play one more game in the Showcase Cup - against the Austin Spurs on Tuesday (AEDT) - which gives Daniels another opportunity to shine in front of NBA scouts.
The 18-year-old former Bendigo Braves point guard is averaging 11 points, six rebounds and five assists per game for Ignite in the G-League.
