First in a 114-84 blowout over the Miami Heat Love went off for 28 points and 15 boards. Then in a 116-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets Love tallied 22 points and six boards.

Adjacent is the NBA Authentication tag with a “CCA06493” code. A third NBA tag labeled “HWC NIGHTS” [Hardwood Classic] is sewn just above to denote a Cavs’ throwback jersey. Inside the left inseam is the washing instructions and "07/16" manufacturing date tag. Love has signed the reverse number in 9/10 black marker. The jersey was not laundered after the game and still carries a strong odor of Love’s not-so-lovely body odor. Can't get more authentic than that!
