2016 NBA Finals: 5 things we learned from Game 2

Golden State Warriors Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavs have struggled all season 

3) No more Love?

Kevin Love
Love had to be replaced due to an injury

Kevin Love’s participation looks to be in jeopardy, as a result of an inadvertent elbow he took to the back of the head from Warriors’ Harrison Barnes in the second quarter of the game. His determination to continue was cut short early into the third quarter, forcing him into an early retirement putting a huge question mark on his availability for the rest of the finals.

His early exit means he is now on the NBA's concussion protocol, which means passing several medical, mental and physical thresholds before he can be officially cleared to return to action. The Cavs need Love, now more so than ever.
