CLEVELAND– Both Kevin Love and LeBron James reached milestones on Wednesday night that no other players in league history have accomplished, as the Cavaliers used a second-half comeback to top the Toronto Raptors, 132-129.
In the win, Love finished with 23 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. He also shot 4-of-6 from beyond the 3-point arc, including a bomb from the right baseline with 27 seconds left to put the Cavs up, 128-124.
With that 3-pointer, Love tallied 1,000 for his career, making him the only player in league history to have 1,000 career 3s while also averaging at least 10.0 rebounds per game.
