NBA's Lucas, Durant duel in front of standing-room only crowd at Pro City: While New York City couldn’t get enough of Kevin Durant’s Rucker Park highlights on Tuesday, John Lucas III seethed. He was in too many of them, one of the players the NBA superstar effortlessly hung 66 on in the memorable scoring display.

I hate it when reporters write for themselves first and assume that the reader knows what they are talking about. I had to read the stories multiple times to finally figure out that Durant scored 66 points in a game and then the next night scored 41 points while Lucas answered the 41 with 60 points. It's just so confusing.

I like ESPN's article about this story as well.
Durant still got the win, which is what really matters. What's great about Durant, as opposed to some other young and super-talented kids, is that he seems to really know that.
