Kevin Love's shoulder injury: Kelly Olynyk's foul was "bush-league."

BOSTON -- Cavaliers forward Kevin Love dislocated his left shoulder in the first quarter of Game 4 against the Celtics on Sunday and was ruled out for the rest of the game, which Cleveland won, 101-93, to sweep the first-round series.

Love was tangled up with Boston's Kelly Olynyk when the play occurred. Olynyk was called for a loose-ball foul with 5:22 remaining in the first quarter for clamping down on Love's left arm and pulling down, causing the injury. The seventh-year forward sprinted immediately to the Cavs' locker room while holding his shoulder after the contact.

The Cavs said Love will undergo further examination at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health in the next 24 hours.

"I thought it was a bush-league play," Love said following the game. "I have no doubt in my mind that he did it on purpose."

Olynyk tried to rip his arm off. Hope Love can recover for the next round.

I am SO FUCKING HAPPY the Celtics were swept.
