Durant Does It Again As Thunder Rally Past Hawks (Yahoo Sports)
NBA Related News

Kevin Durant played the fourth quarter Monday night with the intensity of an NBA Finals game. Showing plenty of emotion down the stretch and scowling at the Atlanta bench on multiple occasions, Durant scored 41 points to rally the Oklahoma City Thunder past the Hawks 111-109 for their eighth straight victory. The star forward hit the game-winning jumper with 1.5 seconds left, capping Oklahoma City's comeback from a 14-point deficit in the second half. ''I know we play a lot of games and a lot of people say January doesn't mean anything,'' Durant said.

But John Wall pumped his right arm and smiled broadly as he dribbled out the clock, and the first word out of Bradley Beal's mouth when he addressed the crowd said it all: ''Finally.'' The Washington Wizards celebrated what they hope is the end of mediocrity Monday night, moving above .500 for the first time in more than four years with a 100-90 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. ''It's only one game over, but, yeah, it's a big relief,'' said Wall, who has endured more than his share of Wizards frustration since his selection as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft. ''But the main thing is we've got bigger goals to try to keep winning games and try to keep getting better and try not to go back down - so we won't have to have this talk again.'' Wall scored 22 points, and Trevor Ariza added 20 and had another solid defensive game for the Wizards, who hadn't had a winning record since beating the New Jersey Nets to improve to 2-1 on Halloween in 2009. Washington committed six turnovers while forcing 16 from Portland, and Wall and Co. didn't look back after Kevin Seraphin led a 12-0 run that put the Wizards up by 17 early in the fourth quarter.

By the time reporters were allowed in the visiting locker room at Oracle Arena late Monday night, most of the Philadelphia 76ers already had cleared out. There were no box scores from the game on players' chairs - which is typical after most NBA games - and there were no smiles to be had by anybody. After losing by a total of 88 points on consecutive nights in California, the 76ers just want to forget what happened. ''Not going to turn on TV or read the papers,'' forward Evan Turner said.

An hour after what he called the best regular-season game he's ever played, LeBron James simply explained why this performance was like none other. James rewrote his record book Monday night, etched his name a few different times in Miami Heat annals as well, and let the NBA know in crystal-clear terms that his MVP award won't be ceded without a fight this season. He scored 61 points, setting career- and franchise-bests, as the Heat topped the Charlotte Bobcats 124-107. He made 22 of his 33 field-goal tries, becoming just the third player in the past 25 years to take that many shots and make at least two-thirds of them, with only Alex English and Shaquille O'Neal on that list.
