Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love had another great game to follow up his solid preseason performance in Brazil. Notching a 25 point game on 8-for-11 shooting with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving sidelined in a 106-100 exhibition victory over the visiting Milwaukee Bucks. Per ESPN.
“I’m comfortable and just not trying to, I guess, fit in so much,” Love said after the game. “I had a talk with the guys on the plane ride over (to Brazil) and also at different practices off the floor and they told me to fit out. Just be myself.
“I kind of laughed and smirked at that. Off the court, I never have any problems with that. But on the court, it’s just us having so many weapons and being able to fit together out there on the floor … You always say check your egos at the door but we also need to bring our egos with us because that’s what makes us so great. We wouldn’t be here without them.”
Love made five 3-pointers in just three quarters before joining fellow starter Dione Waiters on the bench in the fourth quarter.
