Kevin Love's hot start propels Cavs to big win

A shoulder injury forced Kevin Love to miss the Finals last season, yet ineffectiveness in his first three games of the season against the Spurs and Warriors made it questionable whether they missed him at all.

Love scored 23 points total in those three games against the West's two best teams, never scoring more than 10, yet on Saturday night he needed just 6:33 to surpass that 10-point plateau as his hot start set the tone for the Cavs' big win.

In total, Love scored 21 points on an efficient 8-of-13 shooting while hitting three 3-pointers.
