MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love has recorded his 52nd double-double in a row, surpassing Moses Malone for the longest streak since the ABA and NBA merged in 1976.

Love didn't waste much time in extending the streak. He grabbed 10 rebounds in the first 16 minutes and scored his 10th point at the free throw line with 6:51 to play in the first half.

The crowd gave him a standing ovation and he waved as his achievement was put on the big screen above the court.

Love played with a bulky brace on his bruised left knee and wasn't sure he was going to play until shortly before game time. He was injured on Monday against Dallas, when he tied Malone's mark of 51 in a row with 23 points and 17 rebounds.

The last time Love did not have a double-double was Nov. 19 against the Los Angeles Lakers when he was scoreless with eight rebounds.

Why isn't he in consideration for MVP. Someone tell me and give me a better excuse than he is not on a good team. (That's not his fault.)

Congrats to Love. He's had a dominant year. If he played for a better team he'd probably get more MVP consideration.

MVPs win games. check D Rose out. Also, MVP has to be one of the top offensive players with scoring and assists. And he has to be a monster, check KD and Kobe out

Kevin Love cannot help that he is on the T-Wolves. If Love was on a better team people would be hyping him up like crazy.

He's doing a lot of good things for the Aryan race.

:lol: ^^

Congrats to Kevin Love. He's been going ham on the boards all year long, and he aint no slouch when it comes to scoring(20.8 ppg). If he wasnt on the T-Wolves, he would be in the MVP running for sure. Dude is a beast, and like I said earlier in the year, he's a machine!

Not bad for a white boy.
