"After hitting 47 percent of his shots in the Timberwolves' first eight games, Kevin Love has hit a bit of a shooting slump.

Against Chicago on Tuesday, Love appeared to have a typically productive night, scoring 20 points with 13 rebounds. But he needed 18 shots to get there, hitting just five of them. The night before, in Toronto, Love hit on just three of 16 shots. He has shot 8-for-34 (23.5 percent) the past two games.

And much of the problem is coming from inside the three-point line. Love connected on five of 12 three-pointers the past two games, but was only 3-for-22 (13.6 percent) on two-point attempts.

"It's just tough, it's early in the season," said Love, who has had a few shots blocked of late, a problem that plagued him earlier in his career. "It's only our 10th game yet. I just need to slow down around the rim and those shots will fall for me.""
