GAME RECAP
Impact player
Kevin Love, Wolves
Somebody brought it up, said some other player was the league's best power forward. Love's response was 29 points, 15 rebounds, nine assists and an improbable victory for his team.
By the NUMBERS
15 Points, with 14 rebounds, for that other "league's best power forward," LaMarcus Aldridge of Portland.
2 Assists that separated Love from a first-half triple double.
72 Wolves' points in the lane, helped by Nikola Pekovic's 30 on 14-for-19 shooting.
32 The Wolves' biggest lead Wednesday, in the second quarter.
5 What was left of that lead with 46 seconds to play.
