VIDEO: Whiteside serves Love back-to-back rejections
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports
As the 2015-16 season gets underway, Hassan Whiteside's quest for 2K rating boosts resumes.
In Friday's macthup versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat center sent an early message to anyone trying to score in the paint.
His first victim of the night: Kevin Love.
Although Whiteside's second block didn't count - it happened after Love was fouled by Justise Winslow - the 7-footer did his best to ensure Cavs players think twice next time they drive the lane.
Whiteside finished 2014-15 ranked 14th in the league in blocks with 123 total swats.
