Kevin Love: Puts in 18 in season opening loss to Bulls

Love scored 18 points (6-17 FGG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT) with eight rebounds and four assists in Tuesday's 97-95 loss to the Bulls to open the season.

Analysis:

Love had an off shooting night and had trouble dealing with Chicago's very deep frontcourt. He did however drain three 3-pointers and even added two blocks, which is somewhat rare for Love. The Cavs will always drive their offense through LeBron James, but with Kyrie Irving still on the mend, Love has a chance to start the season hot. Unfortunately things won't get easier for Love, as Cleveland will immediately head to Memphis for a game against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
