"Al Jefferson broke a television while watching his Timberwolves play as he rehabilitated from knee surgery at his Golden Valley home a few years ago.

Only Kevin Love's kitchen speakers didn't survive the two-game NBA suspension that ended in time for Friday's home loss to Dallas.

Love blew out his speakers when he turned up the volume at the end of Tuesday's two-point victory over Sacramento, which he watched from his Minneapolis high-rise while providing running game commentary on Twitter.

On Friday, the league's leader in minutes played went back to work after getting some much needed, if forced, rest.

"It's got to help him some, but it's a heck of a way to help, though," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. "It's an expensive way to do it."

The two-game suspension for stepping on Houston forward Luis Scola's face and chest cost Love $83,000-plus in lost salary.

"It's tough to miss two games, you never want to do that," Love said. "I'm looking at it as a blessing in disguise. You never want to ... let down your team. It was really strange, sitting there, watching. I don't like it. I don't want to be sitting out anytime soon.""
