Around the League

Steve Nash dished out 21 assists in the Suns' 107-97 win at Detroit. That's the most ever at the Palace at Auburn Hills, and breaks the mark shared by Isiah Thomas and Chauncy Billups. Nash was left out of the All-Star game this season. Allen Iverson: "Who's been down on Steve Nash? ...He's definitely an All-Star and he's still playing like an MVP."

Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant for the month of January: 27.8 ppg, 8.8 rpg. His stats have gone through the roof since he moved from guard to forward.

The Lakers held LeBron James to 16 points on 5 for 20 shooting in their 101-91 win at Cleveland. Lamar Odom scored 28 points and grabbed 17 rebounds.

The Celtics gave up 11 straight points in the final 45 seconds to lose at home to San Antonio, 105-99. The Celts have lost 2 of their last three, after losing to the Lakers and beating the Knicks last week. Six-game road trip coming up for Boston.

Tops in the NBA: L. James, 28.5 ppg. D. Howard, 14.0 rpg. C. Paul, 10.9 apg. Lakers, 41-9.
