The Eastern Conference has absorbed a jolt over the past couple of days with two top contenders making news which should create a good opportunity for the Pacers on Wednesday night.
First, the Cleveland Cavaliers announced Kevin Love would be out for about six weeks after having his left knee scoped. Without Love, the Cavs host the Pacers on Wednesday night after holding on to beat the Timberwolves in Minnesota on Tuesday. LeBron James played 40 minutes as the Wolves hung aound until Kyrie Irving and LBJ put them away in the final minute.
