Here’s something we haven’t seen from Kevin Love — a possible dirty play. In the middle of Minnesota’s 100-91 win over Houston on Saturday night — in which Love had 25 points and 18 rebounds — the T-Wolves’ star and Rockets forward Luis Scola got tangled up underneath the basket. Scola hit the ground hard as Ricky Rubio grabbed the defensive rebound. Love stepped over Scola before jogging back on offense, err, maybe I should say stepped on.
Love appeared to stomp on Scola’s face and the refs somehow didn’t call a foul.
Rockets.com reporter Jason Friedman reported that Love went into the Rockets locker room after the game and personally apologized to Scola. He also denied stepping on Scola on purpose, saying “I fell down, he was kind of right there, I got size 19 feet, he just happened to be there.”
