DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks got championship rings. Kevin Love got a big new contract and the victory.

 

Love had 31 points and 10 rebounds after signing his maximum four-year extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who handed the defending NBA champions another ceremonious loss, 105-90 on Wednesday night.

 

"It's a good day, putting aside everything that happened earlier in the day and focusing on the game and getting a big win," said Love, the 23-year-old forward who after the morning shootaround signed the extension worth more than $60 million. "We made big stops down the stretch. You can see us growing as a team."

 

The end of the Mavericks' seven-game home winning streak, and their franchise-record streak of holding 15 consecutive opponents under 100 points, came after they finally received their championship rings during a pregame ceremony.

 

That presentation came exactly a month after Dallas raised the championship banner before the season opener. They trailed by 21 points at halftime that day on the way to a 105-94 loss to Miami in an NBA Finals rematch that was never really that close.
