Cavs lose Love to dislocated shoulder

BOSTON — Kevin Love dislocated his left shoulder Sunday on what he said was a “bush-league” play.

Cleveland’s power forward was injured in the first quarter of the Cavaliers’ 101-93 victory that completed a four-game sweep when he and Boston’s Kelly Olynyk chased a loose ball into the left corner after Jae Crowder of the Celtics missed a 3-pointer.

Olynyk’s right arm became entangled with Love’s left arm. Love then grabbed his arm and kept running toward the Cleveland bench before going to the locker room, where he iced his shoulder. Olynyk was charged with a non-shooting foul.

“I thought it was a bush-league play,” Love said after the game while wearing a sling. “I have no doubt in my mind that he did it on purpose.”
