Feb 21 (The Sports Xchange) - For much of the first half of the season, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love was part of trade rumors, despite the team's success.
But in the two games since the trade deadline passed, Love has shown how valuable he can be to a title-contending team. That included posting 29 points and 11 rebounds in the Cavaliers' 115-92 road victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
"He gave it to us on both ends," Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. "Defensively he was engaged, he was in the right spots contesting shots, he was physical in the postups, and his pick and roll defense was great.
