CLEVELAND, Ohio -- What sore lower back? What trade rumors?
Amidst the latest speculation about his future with the Cleveland Cavaliers that won't seem to go away, Kevin Love sent a reminder of his value.
Love scored 23 points on 7-of-16 from the field, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range. He added 16 rebounds and one new poster dunk.
Showing that he's not feeling any ill effects from a sore back, which forced him out of two straight games earlier this week, Love drove to the basket late in the second quarter and dunked over the top of New York Knicks center Willy Hernangomez, causing the Cavaliers' bench to explode with excitement.
