Kevin Love expresses regret for '13-year-old like' outburst during Thunder-Cavaliers game

Kevin Love revealed that he regrets his outburst last week during the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Cleveland Cavaliers' NBA game. Love admitted that he was acting like a 13-year-old teenager rather than his usual 31-year-old self. During the game, he threw up his arms several times and also looked away from the defence when a Thunder player sneaked past him to score a point. He also lost his temper on Collin Sexton, who failed to pass him the ball. Chris Paul had been guarding Kevin Love, while the latter tried to get Sexton's attention. Love walked to half-court and made a pass after demanding for the ball.

Rumours about Kevin Love being traded have also always been around. According to NBA reports, Love was to be traded by the Cavaliers.
