We’ve seen Kevin Love throw hundreds of those full-court outlet passes, and this really might be the best one yet.
Kevin Love’s full-court outlet pass in Game 3 may be his best yet
Love tossed a beauty of a full-courter to LeBron.
The way he dropped it perfectly into LeBron James’ hands ... sheesh. And, to be fair, James putting Marcus Smart on his hip and boxing him out perfectly was as important as the pass. But jeez, who throws passes like this? It’s incredible.
This comes in a half where Love hit seven three-pointers — one shy of the NBA record. He has 22 points and Cleveland leads by 16 points at halftime with 14 made threes as a team (on only 22 attempts, too!).
The most threes made in a playoff game is Klay Thompson with 11, so we’ll see if Love breaks that record. He might not need to play much in the fourth quarter with the way this game is trending, so his biggest challenge might be time.
