Pacers Vs. Timberwolves: Kevin Love Breaks Moses Malone's Double-Double Record In Minnesota Win

Kevin Love registered his 52nd consecutive double-double, breaking Moses Malone's post-merger record, as the Minnesota Timberwolves slammed the Indiana Pacers 101-75. Minnesota doesn't win many by 26, and the night was special for Love and his teammates. The All-Star power forward had 16 points and 21 rebounds; all told, rebounds are easy to come by when the opponents shoots 24 of 81, as the Pacers did.

Notably, Anthony Randolph scored 14 points off of Minnesota's bench. The dream lives! Tyler Hansbrough had another solid game with 21 points and 10 rebounds, putting his double-double streak at one.

In other action:

Bulls 101, Bobcats 84: Let's hope Carlos Boozer isn't out too long, lest Jerry Reinsdorf's prediction take a hit. The Bobcats were without their two best players, with is saying a lot considering how shallow Charlotte is these days.

Nets 94, Warriors 90: Brook Lopez had 26 (proving the Warriors can't defend big men, as if you needed more proof) and Anthony Morrow scored 22 as the Nets won without Deron Williams.

Thunder 110, 76ers 105: Kevin Durant's 34 paced the Thunder past the competitive Sixers, who opened the game on a 15-4 run almost immediately answered by Oklahoma City. Jrue Holiday had 22 for Philly.

Jazz 96, Raptors 94: Jazz win! Jazz win! Utah was without a crew of players, but Al Jefferson made up the difference with 34 points and the game-winning tip.

Bucks 110, Cavaliers 90: Milwaukee, the worst-shooting team in the league, shot 55 percent on the Cavs. Brandon Jennings went 7-10 for 18, and Earl Boykins went 8-9 for 18. The Bucks are now within a game and a half of the No. 8 spot in the East.

Spurs 111, Pistons 104: Rip Hamilton scored 20 off the bench, but Tony Parker's 23 led the way. Detroit's starting center Greg Monroe had 10 rebounds. Nine of them were on offense. Impressive! Detroit had 20 offensive rebounds in all, which ought to concern San Antonio a bit.

Magic 106, Kings 102: The Kings had already beaten the Magic in Orlando, and Sacramento put a scare into Stan Van Gundy's bunch again. Rookie DeMarcus Cousins played well against Dwight Howard; Cousins had 29 points and seven rebounds, while Howard went for 16 and 15. Marcus Thornton also continued his solid play with 22, but Jameer Nelson had 26 and a couple crucial baskets to seal the game.
