At some point, Dwyane Wade's wings will melt, for he flies too close to the sun. Another 40-point night for Flash -- 42, to be exact, on 17-of-23 shooting. He added eight assists, six rebounds and (an unfortunate) eight turnovers.

Wade has broken the 35-point threshold in four straight games, and topped 40 in three of those. Since the All-Star Break, he has averaged better than 36 points per game on 58 percent shooting with 10 assists to boot. Wade is, for lack of a better word, insane. He has a great shot to not only win the scoring title, but to get over 30 ppg. You think someone wants that fourth seed?

Princely Sum: Luc Richard Mbah á Moute's Bucks didn't get a win over psychotic Chicago, but no blame shall rest on our royal friend. Luc Richard had an incredible line, scoring 21 points on just eight FGAs and nine free throws -- a true model of efficiency. Never mind the 11 rebounds or five steals.

Mbenga Mbenga You're Dead: The Lakers destroyed Minny from the outset, allowing D.J. Mbenga plenty of time to show off his wares. Show off he did, with five blocks in 17 minutes. Now I know what you're thinking. Blocked shots ... Minnesota ... Kevin Love, right? Wrong! Mbenga beat down ... Shelden Williams! for three of his denials, with Rodney Carney received the other pair. Kevin Love, absolved of guilt. The Lakers have 50 wins.
