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.David West took a bad step in the second quarter. A really bad step -- he could barely jog through the second half, limping heavily. Like it mattered.
West played nearly the entire second half on one leg, scoring 19 points in that span to finish with 40 on the game. He added nine rebounds and six assists, helping New Orleans remain in position to beat Sacramento, which it did on a Rasual Butler three at the buzzer. On the game-winner with the Hornets down two, West managed to screen off two Kings in the paint. An unbelievable performance from West at a time when his team (missing Tyson Chandler and Peja Stojakovic) couldn't possibly survive another injury.
Swiss Army Flyswatter: Gerald Wallace, a true joy to view, abused the Lakers to the tune of 21 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and five blocks. He swatted Luke Walton twice, and Kobe Bryant, Trevor Ariza and Josh Powell once each. To serve a small reminder: Gerald Wallace is 6'7. Yellow cake in the legs!
Hydra of Friends: T.J. Ford came off the bench to offer 22 points, nine assists and two blocks for Indiana. Danny Granger ran the show, though, with 31 points on 19 FGAs. Indiana beats Chicago, which helps the Bobcats stay alive in their chase for the playoffs.
