MINNEAPOLIS - In his first game at Target Center since he was traded, it was abundantly clear to Kevin Love just how far away he has gotten from Minnesota. Jarvis Landry Jersey .Love spent six seasons with the Timberwolves toiling on a team that couldnt stay healthy and never even sniffed the playoffs. Now he has LeBron James and Kyrie Irving on his side and the Cleveland Cavaliers are expecting to contend for a title.With the Timberwolves, he was the focal point, putting up eye-popping numbers and earning three All-Star berths. In Cleveland, all of those numbers have dropped significantly while the wins have soared, leaving Love to make the same kind of adjustment that Chris Bosh did when he joined James in Miami.When asked if it was a struggle to adapt, Love said Id be lying if I told you it wasnt. But finding different ways to be as efficient as possible, because its something I prided myself on here. Theres different ways to affect the game; Im still learning that here, but we still have 35-plus games left. With that, well continue to evolve and change and get better.Love is averaging nine fewer points, five fewer shots and shooting worse from the field and 3-point line than he did last season with the Wolves and will not be joining James and Irving in New York for All-Star weekend. But the Cavaliers are 29-20 and have won 10 straight games after beating Minnesota on Saturday night.Im in a situation now where were winning basketball games, Love said. And Im happy with that.Even as Andrew Wiggins shows signs of becoming a star in Minnesota after the Cavaliers traded him, James is happy having Love by his side.I just think his basketball I.Q., people dont see that, James said. The way he stretches the floor for us, his rebounding, his basketball I.Q. is really high and it adds to our team. It adds to our team as far as everything — knowing where guys are both offensively and defensively and hes been great.Here are some other things to keep an eye on in the NBA this week:GAME OF THE WEEK: The best in the West against the best in the East on Friday night when the Golden State Warriors visit the Atlanta Hawks.

Brian McDermotts side have gained some momentum towards the end of the season as they attempt to topple Super Leagues second-place side the Warriors. Ryan Hall joins Jon Wells to talk through Leeds victory over league leaders Hull FC Wigan coach Shaun Wane concedes Leeds are the form team and Sutcliffe reveals there is a new mindset among the defending champions, who have won three of their last four matches after making a poor start to their campaign. Its good coming in on a Monday knowing youve had a win at the weekend, said Sutcliffe. At the start of the year, everyone was obviously down and low on confidence after loss after loss.It wasnt the nicest place to be but theres no point looking back, weve got to plan for the middle eights and everyone is full of confidence.Weve had a couple of wins and a couple of decent performances. I think the stuff weve been doing over the last few weeks has been building and building and we do feel were improving week by week. It showed in the victory over Hull. It does help having players back and I think were playing a different way to how we were playing at the start of the year and its obviously working.Tom Briscoe is the latest of their long-term injured players to return to action while the Rhinos also appear to have discovered the answer to the hooking problems following the arrival of James Segeyaro.Sutcliffe, who was seen as the natural successor to playmaker Kevin Sinfield at the start of the season, has made a promising switch to the full-back role vacated by Zak Hardaker.Im enjoying it, Sutcliffe said of his new position. The more I play there, the more confident I feel.Its similar to half-back attacking wise but there are other aspeects you have to learn. Austin Seibert Youth Jersey. I got a fair few tips from Zak before he went and Ashton (Golding) has been helping as well. Even though hes younger than me, hes had more experience in that role.

Ive said all year theyd be back and its just our luck that we play them now.Not many teams beat Hull in Hull and they were good for the win.Theyre playing better than us at the minute. We need to put a dent in them. Were not playing that well and were down on numbers but well try and put 17 players out there that will test them.Wigan are without skipper Sean OLoughlin through suspension while Wane is likely to give a debut to new signing Frank Paul Nuuausala off the bench following his arrival this week.Leeds Rhinos: Carl Ablett, Mitch Achurch, Tom Briscoe, Rob Burrow, Adam Cuthbertson, Brett Delaney, Keith Galloway, Mitch Garbutt, Ashton Golding, Ryan Hall, Ash Handley, Jimmy Keinhorst, Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Jordan Lilley, Joel Moon, James Segeyaro, Brad Singleton, Liam Sutcliffe, Kallum Watkins.Wigan Warriors: Joe Bretherton, Josh Charnley, Ben Flower, Oliver Gildart, Jack Higginson, Willie Isa, Dom Manfredi, Lee Mossop, Frank-Paul Nuuausala, Sam Powell, Dan Sarginson, Jake Shorrocks, Matty Smith, Kyle Shelford, Ryan Sutton, Taulima Tautai, Lewis Tierney, Sam Tomkins and George Williams.Watch Leeds v Wigan live on Sky Sports 3 HD on Friday from 7.45pm.
