Kevin Love has played 69 games this season.

In 63 of those games, he's recorded a double-double, including a record streak of 53 straight that ended Sunday, but not before he passed Moses Malone's previous mark of 51.

Love has played the Lakers three times this season, and he recorded a double-double in only two of those games.

On November 19, Love played his worst game of the season, finishing with zero points and seven rebounds in a 112-95 loss to the Lakers, and he barely kept his double-double streak alive in early March when he went 2-for-10 from the field against L.A. en route to 13 points and 11 rebounds in a 90-79 loss.

"Some of it's familiarity," said Lakers coach Phil Jackson after practice Thursday when asked to explain L.A.'s success against Love. "Lamar [Odom] played against him all summer and I'm sure they had many scrimmages against one another, so I'm sure he has a little bit of feel for him as a player."
