Love's performance in recent times has been too good, in the game against the Pacers, Love once again ushered in the outbreak, he played 29 minutes off the bench, 6 of 13 shots with 20 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, becoming the team's best player on the bench. His all-game plus-minus was as high as +13, the highest statistic for the whole team, and with his help, the Cavaliers also beat the Pacers at home, ending their losing streak.
Counting this game, this is the fifth consecutive game in which Love has scored 20+ points, which has set a new record 20+ points in his last four seasons. In the past period of time, Love has been in very good shape, he has regained his former playing state, and has performed very well in terms of outside shooting, interior finishing and half-interception.
When the Cavaliers were short of major generals, Love stepped forward, and he gave the team a great help with his efficient offensive performance, and he was often able to get luxury data in the game and maintained a certain efficiency. With multiple players unable to play, the Cavaliers are currently able to rank 5th in the East, and Love's performance is crucial.
I believe many fans know that in the past few seasons for the Cavaliers, Lefour has not had a good life, because the team needs to give young players more playing time, and Lefu as a veteran, his state has declined, and injuries continue. Therefore, he did not get too many opportunities to perform in the game, although the Cavaliers had hoped to trade Lefour, but because Lefour's contract was too large and long, coupled with Lefour's reluctance to buy out, therefore, when cultivating young players, the team chose to reduce Lefour's playing time, and each game played only more than 20 minutes, and in the past few seasons, Lefu has not been reused by the team.
This season, because the team brought in players such as Markkanen, Lefour's starting position was also gone, and he played on the bench for most of the season, and his playing time was also greatly reduced. Fortunately, Luck has accepted its new positioning in the team well this season and has performed very well on the bench. Since the start of the away game against the Bucks, Love has now scored in double figures in 13 consecutive games, with four double-doubles during the period.
In the past 5 games, Love has scored 20+ points in a row, averaging 25 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, averaging 5.4 three-pointers per game on the outside, shooting 52.9% from the field, which is in very good shape.
At this stage, although he is no longer the team starter, he is better adapted to the team's tactical system, and in order for the team to enter the playoffs, he also does his best in the game and tries to help the team. Luck is in the best form of the past few seasons, and although he is now on the bench, he has performed and played better than he has started in the past few seasons. At the moment, Love has the potential to hit the best sixth man this season and is also expected to help the team make it to the playoffs.
