Olynyk in denial

Kelly Olynyk refuted the claims of Kevin Love that he purposely dislocated the Cavaliers forward’s left shoulder in yesterday’s fourth and final game of their playoff series, a 101-93 Celts loss.

The Celtics forward, stunned that Love would accuse him of intentionally trying to cause injury, had a sharp reaction when forced to defend his reputation.

“That’s ridiculous,” Olynyk told the Herald last night. “I would never intentionally hurt Kevin or anyone else. He locked my arm up, I locked up his as we were fighting for a loose ball. You lock up arms all the time in this league.
