NBA Baller of the Night: Kevin Durant, SF, OKC
Durant dropped 33 points on 9-18 shooting from the field and 14-14 from the charity stripe. He also pulled down 11 boards in a 106-99 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Durant has now scored at least 25 points in 22 straight games, the first player to accomplish that since Allen Iverson did it in 2001. Durant is on absolute fire right now and has officially broken out as a bona-fide superstar in the league this season.
NBA Dud of the Night: The New Jersey Nets
The Nets dropped their 43rd game out of 47 on the season. They're loss to the Pistons snapped the Pistons five game losing streak. They are absolutely horrific right now -- so bad that assistant coach Del Curry resigned after the loss. They're on pace to set the single season mark for most losses in NBA history and being crowned the "Worst Team Ever." Something needs to change in New Jersey, and something fast.
