Love flaunts his flair for the three-pointer

"Kevin Love, he's not just a rebounder anymore.

Not that he ever really was, but Love on Saturday night proved he has come a long way since his rookie season by winning the NBA All-Star three-point contest in a playoff against Oklahoma City smooth shooter Kevin Durant.

That rookie-season mention was a reference to Randy Wittman, who coached Love during his rookie season in 2008-09.
