Timberwolves’ Love passes Malone with 52nd straight double-double
MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Love recorded his 52nd double-double in a row to surpass Moses Malone for the longest such streak since the ABA and NBA merged in 1976 in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 101-75 over the free-falling Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
Love overcame a bruised left knee to put up 16 points and 21 rebounds in just 27 minutes to help the Timberwolves win for just the 16th time this season. Love didn’t waste any time extending the streak, reaching double figures in points and rebounds with just under seven minutes to play in the first half.
Next on the list of longest streaks is Elvin Hayes with 55 in 1973-74.
