Love: LeBron drew up plays for me during 34-point 1st quarter

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

Kevin Love had the hottest of hot hands for the Cleveland Cavaliers during the opening 12 minutes of Wednesday's 137-125 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, lighting up the opposition for 34 points on 11-of-14 shooting and eight 3-pointers.

His teammate LeBron James is no fool, and wanted to ensure Love had every opportunity to continue getting quality looks at the basket with his shot falling at such a rate.

As Love acknowledged on his Instagram account Thursday, The King went so far as drawing up plays for the three-time All-Star forward so the reigning NBA champions could milk his hot streak for every last ounce of offense.

Where was head coach Tyronn Lue during all of this? Well, if LeBron wants to call a play or two, would you tell him no?
