Toronto Raptors v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game Three
Kevin Love

I don't know what it is about these Raptors that every Cavalier seems to step up against them and Kevin Love has been no different. After a disastrous start in these playoffs, in which he averaged just 10.8 points through the first 8 games, Love has come back to life in the last two. He's played a key role whenever James has had to go to the bench, taking on the scoring load and keeping the Cavs afloat. He had 31 Points and 11 Rebounds in Game 2 and followed that up with 21 Points and 16 Rebounds in Game 3.

Kyle Korver and Jeff Green continued their strong showings too, scoring 18 and 11 apiece. The rest of the supporting cast around James seem to have finally got it going after some putrid performances against the Indiana Pacers and that is not good news for Boston whom they will in all likelihood meet in the Conference Finals.
