Timberwolves forward Kevin Love sat out the last six games with a strained left hamstring, but he still finished the season leading the NBA in rebounding with 15.2 per game.

Love said winning the rebounding title was the highlight of the season for him, a season filled with milestones for the third-year forward.

"The rebounding title is special because I was able to do it over the course of the season," Love said.

Love, who set a modern-era NBA record with 53 consecutive double-doubles, is the second Wolves player to lead the league in rebounding. Kevin Garnett led the league in 2003-04 and 2004-05. Love snapped Orlando center Dwight Howard's streak of five straight rebounding titles.

Love also averaged 20.2 points, making him the first player to average 20 points and 15 rebounds per game since Moses Malone in 1982-83.
