Kevin Love faced plenty of backlash following his decision to mock Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier's arrests on Thursday.

Love took to Instagram to post a photoshopped version of Rozier and Billups onto a viral photo of former CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief Kristin Cabot, who saw their affair exposed during a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert over the summer in a moment that quickly became a meme.

When fans chanted ‘We Want Love’ during the fourth quarter, Kevin Love immediately went to coach Will Hardy and covered his coach’s ears.
