MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Love has the NBA’s Most Improved Player award. Now he’s aiming to help his Minnesota Timberwolves become next season’s most improved team.
There’s nowhere to go but up for the Wolves, whose 17-65 record was the worst in the league. That didn’t keep Love from making the all-star team and adding to his trophy collection.
He was presented with the Most Improved Player award at Target Center on Thursday.
Love was a runaway winner, getting 66 of a possible 116 first-place votes and 400 points from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters who cover the NBA. LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers finished second with 157 points.
