Love-ing the Effort
One of the strangest things happened on Friday night, a player from the Timberwolves made history. Kevin Love recorded 31 points and 31 rebounds in the Timberwolves' win against the Knicks at the Target Center. Considering that the likes of Paul Pierce and Lebron James felt the need to give props to Love via their Twitter accounts, what K-Love did on Friday was extraordinary. The last person to record a 30-30 performance before Love was Moses Malone, a whole 28 years ago. The Wolves got their 3rd taste of victory behind Love's performance, as they beat the Knicks 112-101. Love actually reached 30 rebounds before reaching the 30 point plateau, which came from him bringing in many of his own missed shots. If your wondering, Love was only 24 rebounds short of 55, which is the record set by Wilt Chamberlain. Michael Beasley added an impressive 35 points to help our cause, it is too bad that his performance was shadowed by one of the most impressive feats of all time. Kevin Love and Michael Beasley have become two pillars of strength that Minnesota can build on for the rest of the season, and in years to come.
