Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love said the team feels there was no malice behind coach John Beilein referring to them as "thugs" in a film session.
"I don't think there was any malice or intent to upset us. ... At the end of the day as a person, he's a good man and he misspoke. He owned up to it, came in this morning to apologize and now we've moved on," Love told reporters Thursday.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Beilein told his players they were no longer playing "like a bunch of thugs" as praise during a Wednesday film session.
