Trail Blazers' Caleb Love: Surprises with 17 points

Love provided 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to Phoenix.

Love has now appeared in three consecutive games, and it appears that the Trail Blazers intend to max out the two-way player's allotment of games with the parent club. The North Carolina product went undrafted in the offseason, but an encouraging session in the Summer League earned him a spot with Portland. Love's minutes will likely dip when Jrue Holiday (calf) returns to action.
