After getting trounced at Oracle Arena in Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back in a big way Wednesday night without their starting power forward, decimating the Golden State Warriors in a 120-90 drubbing.
Love missed the festivities after being diagnosed with a concussion following an elbow to the back of the head from Harrison Barnes on Sunday.
The Cavaliers didn't seem to miss him too much in Game 3, which begs the question of how head coach Tyronn Lue will use the three-time All-Star once he is cleared to return to action.
Asked after his team's win of his plans for Love, Lue was tight-lipped in response.
"Do I have to tell you? I'm not going to tell you," he said.
Love was reportedly frustrated that he wasn't medically cleared by the Cavaliers doctors to compete. This is the first real postseason run of his career after separating his shoulder early in the opening round last year.
Veteran Richard Jefferson got the start in his stead, scoring nine points and grabbing eight rebounds in 33 minutes.
