 The Cavs won 101-93 to sweep the first-round Eastern Conference
series.
Love will receive additional examination, imaging and evaluation at
Cleveland Clinic Sports Health over the next 24 hours. The team said
his status will be updated following the evaluation.
Love was chasing a long rebound with Boston forward Kelly Olynyk,
whose right arm locked around Love's left. A foul was called on
Olynyk and Love grabbed his shoulder and ran off the court and
straight to the locker room.
"I thought it was a bush-league play," Love said after the game. "I
have no doubt in my mind that he did it on purpose."
Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith was ejected from Sunday's game after
injuring Celtics forward Jae Crowder as the pair jockeyed for
rebounding position.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley, who was hospitalized
Saturday night with a head injury he sustained during a playoff
victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, will return to Memphis for
further evaluation.
Conley has been ruled out of Game Four on Monday night in Portland.
The Grizzlies' 115-109 victory on Saturday gave them a 3-0 lead in
the first-round, best-of-seven series.
Conley left the game in the third quarter after he was inadvertently
hit in the head by an elbow from Portland guard C.J. McCollum.
