Cavalier Kevin Love's Lazy Swat Turns Ball Over To Raptors In Wild Clip

Monday night in Toronto, Cleveland Cavalier Kevin Love committed a lazy faux pas that will follow him for years to come.

Love had the ball at full court after a Raptor basket. Instead of a hard pass to inbound the ball, Love simply rolled the ball on the court.

There were still 33.3 seconds left in the quarter.

You can figure out what happened from there. Toronto recovered the ball and then made a 3-point field goal.










In some respects, you can't blame Love totally for his behavior. He has been the whipping boy for the Cavs for well over a year.

The team is an afterthought in the NBA unless they have LeBron James and are playing Golden State in the Finals.

Their record at one point actually had them looking like a potential contender to get into the play-in tourney.

Now it's all come to the surface with Love (again), and his behavior likely will result in a suspension or a fine.

The Cavs have been trying to rebuild ever since LeBron left for Los Angeles.

Clearly Love's actions are not going to help.
