Cavaliers' Kevin Love: Double-doubles in Sunday win

Love (rest) tallied 21 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and 15 rebounds over 26 minutes in Sunday's 125-120 win over the Lakers.

Analysis:

In only his second game back from his extended layoff due to a knee injury, Love played notably fewer minutes than his other two Big Three compatriots but still managed to exploit the best matchup in the NBA for power forwards. The effort marked Love's first double-double since Feb. 9, his next-to-last game before his prolonged absence. Having played 20 and 26 minutes in his first two games, Love could well be ready for a 30-minute workload at a minimum in the Cavs' next contest, which comes against the Nuggets on Wednesday.
