Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love is active for Game 4 of the NBA Finals after missing Wednesday night's contest with a concussion.

The Cavaliers fared much better with Love out of the lineup in Game 3, defeating the Golden State Warriors 120-90 at Quicken Loans Arena.

Love will come off the bench in Friday night's contest, as Richard Jefferson retains his spot in the starting lineup. It's the first time since 2010 that Love has come off the bench.

Love is averaging 16.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists on 38.9 percent shooting this postseason. The UCLA product is averaging 11.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in the Finals.
