NBA Finals 2016: 5 things we learned from Cleveland's win

3) Kevin Love is a fighter, and he can defend for his life

Love’s game 7 heriocs will not be forgetten

It has always been believed that the modern day league is meant for really good two-way players or supremely elite one-way players. Kevin Love was once the latter, he is now neither, or wasn’t until the dying moments of the 4th in Game 7.

His defence on Curry with the Cavs leading by 4 exhibited more intensity than I’ve even seen Love show on the defensive end, where he’s usually a sitting duck.

He fought for a position back in the starting line-up in the Finals coming back after clearing the league’s concussion protocol, crashed the offensive and defensive boards in Game 7, and then hounded Curry on that key play like his life was on the line, eventually coming out on the right side of the result.
