After 50 games, Kevin Love’s transformation into being a consistent offensive threat on this Cavaliers’ team continues to be a work in progress. Monday’s 97-84 win over the Philadelphia 76ers brought it to light, yet again. In 33 minutes of action, Love compiled a game-high 15 rebounds and played solid defense, but only scored five […]

Saturday night, the shoe was […]

The Blue Jackets won’t be pleased with letting two points slip away in south Florida Thursday night.
