In Kevin Love’s first game back after nearly missing two months of action, the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to fish a 124-117 home win at the expense of the Milwaukee Bucks Monday night.
The game was filled with notable moments, but outside of LeBron James notching another triple-double, the biggest takeaway from the contest is that of the weird gesture Love made in front of the Bucks bench when he fell on his back after a three-point attempt. What Love did left people stumped, and no one has yet to put up a decent explanation. Not even Love himself.
When asked about it by reporters following the game, Love seemed clueless as to why he tried to treat the basketball court like it was his personal swimming pool, per Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com.
“I don’t know what the hell that was,” Love told a private group of reporters while being shown the video at his locker. “I was just having fun.”
Love started the game at the center position and finished with 18 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in only 25 minutes of floor action. He also drained four of his nine three-point attempts.
The Cavs have a thin frontline that got slimmer because of the injuries of Tristan Thompson and Larry Nance Jr., so Love will have to spend some time playing the five position.
On the season, Love is averaging 17.9 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 40.4 percent from behind the arc.
Kevin Love and the Cavs will look to stretch their unbeaten streak to three games this Wednesday against the current leaders of the Eastern Conference, Toronto Raptors.
