Line of the Night (11/8): Kevin Durant

In just 31 minutes of playing time, Kevin Durant posted 28 points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals in a 102-74 win over the Magic. Durant shot 11-17 from the field as the young Thunder upended a shorthanded Orlando team. (The Magic were without Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson due to sprained ankles, and Rashard Lewis is still suspended.)

It was the second time that Durant dished out five assists this season. As he matures, he’s going to need to develop his playmaking ability. He’s a wonderful scorer, but with the kind of attention he’s going to draw, he will have an opportunity to create a ton of shots for his teammates.
