Kevin Love's streak ends at 53

Stephen Curry scored 24 points and added nine rebounds and six assists as the Golden State Warriors snapped Kevin Love's 53-game double-double streak in a 100-77 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. Love, who had the longest string of consecutive double-doubles in the NBA since Elvin Hayes recorded 55 straight in 1973-74, was held to six points on 1-for-6 shooting and failed to score 10 points for the first time since Nov. 19. The Timberwolves couldn't get Love the ball because they were committing 27 turnovers; that ineptitude helped Golden State hold Minnesota to 36.6 percent shooting and a season-low point total.
