The Cleveland Cavaliers won a thrilling of a Game 4 against the Boston Celtics, but not everyone is happy and Kevin Love wants justice. 

Kevin Love wasn’t a part of the Cleveland Cavaliers win over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 on Sunday thanks to a separated shoulder by way of what Love believes is a dirty play.

Love’s shoulder was popped out of place early on in Game 4 after he got tangled up with Kelly Olynyk. But while it looked like he was simply getting tangled up on a physical play, Love said after the win that he feels the play was dirty and he was injured on purpose.

Love then noted that he wants ‘justice’ for the play, meaning a league review that could end in a fine or suspension for Olynyk that carries into next season.

Here’s the play in question, which looked innocent on the surface but in the context of how physical the game was, could be interpreted as being dirty.

Olynyk and the Celtics are going home after just four games in the postseason, but they’re not going quietly. Love and the Cavaliers are done with Boston, but they’re still talking about them and if Love is out for an extended period of time, it could be a lasting effect that the Celtics have in the postseason long after they’re gone.

If something comes from this, it’s not going to effect them until next season. But for the Cavaliers, this could effect them long into the postseason and be something that ends up derailing their hopes or a title this season.
