Kevin Love provided more details about his panic attack during a game on Nov. 5, 2017 against the Atlanta Hawks.

Love said he was dealing with family issues, having trouble sleeping and also feeling the weight of expectations for the start of the Cleveland Cavaliers' season. Love eventually wrote about that experience in an essay on The Players' Tribune.

Love revealed he ran from room to room in a total panic before finally collapsing on the floor of Cleveland's locker room.

"My heart was jumping out of my chest," Love says. "I couldn't get any air to my lungs. I was trying to clear my throat by sticking my hand down my throat.

"It was terrifying. I thought I was having a heart attack. I was very scared. I really felt like I was going to die in that moment."

Love says Cavs trainer Steve Spiro came in and found him splayed on the floor. "He was trying to calm me down, but he didn't know what to do," Love says. "He asked me, 'What can I do to get you some air?'"

The team transported Love to the hospital. 

Love's teammates were confused and angry.

"They had no idea what was going on," Love said.
