Kevin Love now has the NBA record for consecutive games with double doubles at 52. Other random facts (stats as of Friday morning before any games):
- He's only been in the single digits in points twice this year, both back in November - 8 points vs Sacramento on 11/10 and 0 points vs the Lakers on 11/19.
- He's only been in the single digits in rebounds 5 times, all in the month of November, the last of which was that 11/19 game vs the Lakers.
- On the season, he has 61 total double-doubles, which is most in the league. To put that in perspective, only 3 other players have more than 40 - Blake Griffin (56), Dwight Howard (52), Zach Randolph (46).
- 11/22, the first game of the streak was vs the Thunder when he scored 24 and grabbed 17 boards.
- The record breaking game was on 3/9 vs the Pacers. He had 16 points, 21 rebounds.

- His highest point total of the year was on 12/18 vs the Nuggets. He had 43 points (and 17 boards).
- His highest rebound total of the streak was 24 vs Boston on 1/3. However, he did grab 31 boards (and scored 31 points) vs the Knicks before the streak on 11/12, which was the game that announced his claim to all star status.
- The closest call to breaking the streak was his mortal 10 point, 10 rebound night on 2/2 vs Memphis. Man, that was close.
