As I wrote in Friday night's game story, funny how a season that started with Kevin Love so discontent about his playing time is winding toward an end with him so happy to sit and watch the fourth quarter.
He's done that the last two games, with twice the benefits:
1. It takes the strain off that bruised knee that he banged against the Mavericks on Monday.
2. It meant for the second time in three nights that game by then was well in hand.
When was the last time that happened, two blowout victories in a row?
"Not in my short career," Love said. "Not yet. Hopefully more to come, though."
They persevered Friday night even though they let all but two points of a 19-point, first-half lead slip away by early in the third quarter.
No matter, with Love on his way to double-double No. 53, with Darko outplaying big Al Jefferson at the center matchup and with Michael Beasley playing like he did before that January ankle injury, the Wolves simply reversed course and tore off on a 29-6 run that ended the third quarter.
