Kevin Love left in the first quarter after suffering a dislocated shoulder and did not return and is questionable moving forward in the playoffs.

“That’s just not a basketball play,” Love said of the way Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk tangled up his right arm with Love’s left.  “I expect it to be physical, but when it has to go to that length it’s just not the way it’s supposed to be, that’s not how you play basketball.”

LeBron James scored 27 and Kyrie Irving added 24 in the sweep.

“It didn’t look like a basketball play,” James said of the Love injury.  “I’ve seen a lot of tie-ups in my day and that tie-up was a little different.”

“You want to play the game of basketball the right way, but you never want it to get out of hand when you have injuries,” James continued.  

Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas had 21 in the loss and Avery Bradley finished with 16.
