Cleveland Cavaliers veteran forward Kevin Love explained Wednesday why he inbounded a pass to the Toronto Raptors during Monday's 112-96 loss.
According to Mark Medina of USA Today, Love said: "The intent there wasn't malicious. It wasn't against the team."
Love continued:
"Not to say too much that could get me fined, but it was the officiating. When I snagged that ball, I didn't realize it wasn't even inbounds. I was a little thrown off. I was going to go grab it and throw back into passing the ball to [Darius Garland] and move on.
