Veteran forward Kevin Love reportedly apologized to his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates and coaches for his actions during Monday's 112-96 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
Late in the third quarter of Monday's game, Love was supposed to inbound the ball, but he instead slapped it into play after the referee threw it to him, allowing the Raptors to gain possession and make a three-pointer:
That increased the Raptors lead from six to nine in what had been a tightly contested game.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Love apologized Monday night, and the Cavs plan to handle the matter internally.
