NBA Basketball...
Dwayne Wade had 32 and 10 assists for Miami, who beat Oklahoma City 104-94. Although they lost, props must go to Kevin Durant, who had 31 points, 6 boards, and 5 assists. KD has been putting in work in '09; he had 32, 6, and 6 in a win against Detroit on Friday. Durant has stepped his game up in the New Year, and is filling up the stat sheet in more than just the points category. In January, Durant's averaging 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists per contest - all season high's. Moreover, he's doing it efficiently, shooting 50% from the field, 45% from 3, and 90% from the charity stripe. Dating back to Dec. 31, Durant's has led the Thunder to a 5-5 record, including wins over Detroit and Utah. While that may not impress some, it's a big step for a team that was 3-32 before New Year's Eve.
