Love scores 40, including 34 in 1st, James has triple-double
CLEVELAND — Kevin Love didn’t think anything unusual was going on Wednesday night. The scoreboard told a different story.
Love scored 40 points, including an NBA-record 34 in the first quarter, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Portland Trail Blazers 137-125.
Love fell three points shy of the league record for points in any quarter, set by Golden State’s Klay Thompson, who scored 37 in the third on Jan. 23, 2015.
