Both Mitchell Kernel basketball teams took on Aberdeen Central last night. The girls were able to get themselves back in the win column after beating AB Central, 42-33. The Lady Kernels improved to 13-3 overall. The boys were on the road and things started off slow, but they were able to capture their eighth straight win after beating the Golden Eagles, 53-44. Markus Talley led the way with 16 points and a season-high seven steals. They improved to 14-2 overall.

The Kernel girls wrestling team will have their Eastern South Dakota Conference Meet tomorrow. They’ll compete in the Huron Arena and begin at 5pm.

NBA

Kevin Durant became the eighth player in NBA History to eclipse 30,000 points. It occurred last night as the Phoenix Suns took on the Memphis Grizzlies and he hit the mark with a free throw late in the third quarter of a 119-112 loss to the Grizzlies. The 36-year-old Suns forward, who recently was voted to his 15th All-Star team, joins LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki and Wilt Chamberlain in the 30,000-point club. Julius Erving also hit the mark when combining his points scored in the NBA and ABA.
