Report: Isaiah questioned Love's illness vs. OKC in team meeting
Tensions boiled over for the Cleveland Cavaliers after allowing 148 points to the Oklahoma City Thunder on national television last weekend.
The team held a meeting Monday, in which players and coaches alike were allowed to air their grievances.
A number of issues were raised, but one sticking point was that some Cavaliers questioned Kevin Love for missing all but three minutes of Saturday's game with a migraine.
As it turns out, it was Isaiah Thomas who raised the point about Love, a source told Frank Isola of the New York Daily News. It's a shocking development given that Thomas and Love go way back to their days playing high school basketball in Washington.

Love admitted to reporters on Tuesday that he was a target, but added that everyone caught flack in the meeting.
"Did I feel like a target? I think everybody, most people, were a target," Love said during shootaround Tuesday. "We're trying to figure this thing out. People hold themselves to a very high standard on this team and we're a team that can compete at the highest level."
