Kevin Love Apologizes For 'Unacceptable' Behavior

Apr 28, 2021 2:00 PM

Kevin Love threw a temper tantrum at the end of the third quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers' eventual loss to the Toronto Raptors, angrily tapping a ball back into play and to the other team instead of inbounding the ball to a teammate. The Raptors made a three-pointer as Love walked up the court. Love had hurt his knee shortly before the episode. 

"That was unacceptable,” a source texted the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

“You’ll have to ask Kevin,” Bickerstaff said when asked what Love was doing at the end of the quarter. “We talked about it. He apologized to his teammates for it and we’ll move on.”

Love didn't speak to reporters after the game.
