Doing Lines: Durant's New Address

Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the lig. Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.

Anyone wishing to send Kevin Durant a house-warming gift should make out the package to his new address, which is the free throw line at Staples Center. The Clippers gave up 40-plus points to a kid for the second straight game -- Durant threw in 46 points, with a whopping 24 coming from the foul line.

Durant added 15 rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block. The Clippers, however, won. How?

Eric Gordon is how. The youngster threw in 41 points of his own, getting 12 from the line and 15 out of seven 3-point attempts.

The peripherals aren't as pretty, but the win -- especially considering just about every top eight player for L.A. other than Gordon or Al Thornton is injured -- is much sweeter.

Charles in Charge: Charlie Villanueva continued his sick offensive assault on the world, going for 27/7 on only 14 field-goal attempts in Atlanta. Charlie V came in second to Chris Paul in R.O.Y. voting in 2005-06. He hasn't played that well since ... until this month. He's become a scoring monster.

Monta Lives!: LeBron James won this game at the buzzer, but Monta Ellis spread cheer through the Bay Area by coming back and showing that the moped stole 2-1/2 months of the season, but it can never take his swag. Twenty points and three assists for our protagonist.
