Kevin Love called her out on Monday. During the Cavaliers’ 112-96 loss to the Raptors on the road, Loew – who had gone the ball in – slapped a pass from an official into the field, where it became live. Stanley Johnson of Toronto caught the talented spin and passed the ball to Malachi Flynn, who easily sank 3 times unchallenged. The sequence happened with 29.4 seconds remaining in the third quarter, part of the Raptors’ 7-0 race that helped them achieve 81-70. Driving vector to the fourth. Cleveland is just late 76-70 before Love makes a spin. He did not play in the fourth quarter and left before the final bell set off, finishing the match with 11 points and seven rebounds in a loss. Low light from a game in which Cleveland dropped, down from seven players, to 21-40 in the season and 13th in the Eastern Conference Ranking. The Cavaliers have lost three times in a row, six of the last seven and eight of the last 10, and will miss the playoffs for the third year in a row, coach GB Pickerstaff quickly spoke of the sequence at his post-match press conference, saying Love apologized to his teammates and said Pickerstaff when asked about the play in Post-game (via Cleveland.com): “You have to ask Kevin.” “We talked about it. He apologized to his teammates for it and we will move on.”
