Kevin Love still struggling with shot
Kevin Love - F/C - Minnesota Timberwolves
Dec. 5, 2012 - 11:35 PM ET

Kevin Love hit just 6-of-15 shots, a 3-pointer and 6-of-12 free throws for 19 points and 13 rebounds on Wednesday as he continues to struggle with his shot as he recovers from a broken right hand.

Love came in shooting just 36 percent from the field and 68 percent from the line, and that free throw percentage is going to be dropping after tonight. We knew he might struggle with his shot while dealing with a sore shooting hand, and given that he shot 45 percent from the floor and 82 percent from the line last season, it's clearly an issue that only time will heal. It wasn't long ago that he had a 23-point, 24-rebound night, so owners should continue to fight off low-ball offers until Love starts playing like he's capable of.
