Kevin Love scored 27 points, hitting the go-ahead basket with four minutes remaining, and the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers surprised the Denver Nuggets for the second time this season.

Love missed badly on his first two shots — both 3-pointers — to start the game, but more than made up for it by carrying the Cavaliers down the stretch.

The Cavaliers have the worst record in the Eastern Conference, but beat the Nuggets, who have the third-best record in the West in both meetings this season. Cleveland won 111-103 win in Denver on Jan. 11.

Murray made the game-winning shot Thursday against Charlotte, but came up short this time as his jumper hit off the rim. capping the bad loss.
