Kevin Love takes part in first full-contact practice since surgery

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Kevin Love took a big step in his recovery on Thursday afternoon, going through his first full-contact 5-on-5 practice.

"He actually did pretty well," Cavs head coach Larry Drew said afterward. "He moved around pretty well. Got a little winded, which is expected. The first time he has really been in a contact situation where we went up and down and there was actual contact. I thought he moved really well, shot the ball well, passed the ball well. Hopefully tomorrow there are no setbacks when he comes to practice and we will see how he is.
