Caleb Love is already making a significant impact for the Portland Trail Blazers as an undrafted rookie who joined the roster on a two-way contract. He was the clear X-Factor in Portland's road upset over the Golden State Warriors, finishing with 26 points, seven rebounds, and five assists on 9-of-20 shooting from the field and 6-of-14 from beyond the arc.
Love logged an absurd 38 minutes as the Blazers were severely shorthanded, particularly in the backcourt, with Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, Blake Wesley, and Damian Lillard all sidelined. The 127-123 win now surprisingly puts the Blazers at 2-1 in the NBA Cup, tied with the Denver Nuggets for the best record in the "Group of Death".
