An alien record in NBA history by Kevin Love
Incredible performance by Kevin Love who scored 32 points for the Bucks in 14:43. Nobody in NBA history has scored that many goals in under 19 minutes!
The image of Kevin Love in the Cavaliers’ home game against the Bucks was magical. His performance is epic. The veteran forward only stayed on the ground 14:43, but during that time managed 32 points from 2/5 two points, 8/11 three points and 4/6 shots, amassed 10 rebounds and shared two assists in a wonderful one-man show to the Cleveland audience, who adored him with hearty applause.
Nobody in NBA history has scored more points in under 15 minutes. According to statistics, Earl Monroe had scored 25 points in a Knicks match against the Celtics on March 26, 1980, and three other players had scored from 24 goals. Even more impressive is that no one has scored that many points in under 19 minutes, with Love outperforming Kevin Durand’s performance (30 points) in a Thunder game against the Warriors on December 18, 2014.
For the record, Love had scored 34 points in a season in a Cavaliers win over the Blazers on Nov. 24, 2016. Just then he had played 32 total minutes and on 40 points of 4/8 two points, 8/12 three points and 8/8 shots.
