Durant Drops 41 On Hawks – NBA Roundup For Jan. 28th

UNDATED (AP) — Kevin Durant enjoyed his sixth performance scoring at least 40 points in helping the Oklahoma City Thunder rally from a 14-point halftime deficit to beat Atlanta 111-109.

NEW YORK (AP) — Knicks fans worried about free-agent-to-be superstar Carmelo Anthony leaving New York for greener pastures should relax. He's not going anywhere, a source close to Anthony says.

The source? His wife, La La Anthony, who said she "definitely" thinks Anthony will stay in New York. La La Anthony was speaking on "Watch What Happens Next Live" on Bravo.

Anthony has said he intends to become a free agent this summer. The Knicks can give him an extra year and some $30 million more than any other team, but their 17-27 record has created speculation he would consider leaving the team. Anthony, who recently scored 62 points in a game, is averaging 27.2 points for the Knicks. He is a native of Brooklyn.
