Kevin Love sets the single season double-double mark.
words // Nick Engvall
The Minnnesota Timberwolves fans haven’t had much to be excited about over the last few years. It seems that every time the team finds some light at the end of the tunnel, it gets traded away or lost to injury. This year has been the exception, thanks to big man Kevin Love. Love scored 23 points and grabbed 17 rebounds on Monday against the Mavericks, making it his 51st consecutive game with a double-double, setting a single season NBA record. Only the great Moses Malone has accomplished the same feat, but Malone’s 51 games were spread over two seasons. Love will undoubtedly hold the mark completely on his own after Wednesday’s match-up against the Pacers.
With only a handful of games on the schedule Tuesday, you might think that the footwear would be a little scarce for our Sneaker Watch coverage, but leave it to Gilbert Arenas to shock the sneaker world as he has done all season. Arenas wore a pair of never-seen-before Player Exclusive Jordan Retro 13s that had everyone buzzing last night.

In what may become this generation’s Malone vs. Barkley, Blake Griffin and Kevin Love squared off on Wednesday when the Minnesota Timberwolves visited the Los Angeles Clippers. Both players, who are currently in the midst of All-Star-worthy seasons, made sure to give the fans in attendance their money’s worth.
Love extended his double-double streak to 29-straight games, with 26 points and 11 rebounds (all in the second half). Unfortunately for Blake, his double-double streak ended at 27 games, but he recorded 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists on the night. More importantly, Blake walked away with the win, marking the third straight for the Clippers.
Check out what the two future All-Star power forwards, and several of the league’s other top stars, wore on the court for Wednesday’s games.
