However, everybody in the NBA world is talking about and cherishing Timberwolves’ forward/center Kevin Love’s performance last night. Love recorded the first 30-30 game since 1982 when Moses Malone had 38 points and 32 rebounds. Despite his mediocre first half, Love caught on fire after halftime. Kevin Love scored 31 points and grabbed 31 rebounds last night, making history at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
