    On November 12, 2010, Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Love made NBA history, against the New York Knicks, posting a remarkable 31 points and 31 rebounds.

    This was the league's first 30-30 game since Moses Malone in 1982, while he set a new franchise rebound record.

    Meanwhile, we detail the historic game, the 2010 season, and Love's career stats.
