Kevin Love was a big reason the Cleveland Cavaliers completed a sweep of the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
But after the game the Cleveland forward really didn't want to talk about the 27 points he scored or the eight 3-pointers he made in the Cavs' 100-99 victory. Love wanted to get home in time to watch the HBO show "Game of Thrones."

"'Game of Thrones' is on tonight, I’m trying to get home to watch that. Jon Snow is back," Love said after trying to answer a reporter's question about his personality meshing with his teammates.
LeBron James, who scored Cleveland's final four points in the win to finish with 21, couldn't stop laughing at Love's comment.
The postgame press conference with Love, James and Kyrie Erving continued for about three minutes.
James might not watch the show, so maybe he didn't understand the context, which is listed below and contains spoilers for those not current on the storyline.
Snow, the bastard son of Ned Stark, is back after the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was stabbed repeatedly in last season's finale. Thanks to the Red Witch Melisandre, who obliged a request from Davos Seaworth to bring Snow back from the dead, Kit Harrington's beloved character is still around — unlike the Hawks, who have never beaten the Cavaliers in 12 postseason games.
