"The NBA on Monday suspended Wolves forward Kevin Love for two games for stepping on Houston's Luis Scola's face and chest during Saturday's victory at Target Center.

He will miss Tuesday's game against Sacramento and Wednesday's game at Memphis.

By my calculations -- and my engineer brother will tell you I'm lousy at math -- he will lose about $83,636 in pay.

The league termed Love's action "driving his foot into the upper body and face" of Scola and upgraded an incident in which no foul was called Saturday to a flagrant foul type 2.

Love's stepped on Scola's face after he heated trips down the floor, one when he scored on a third-effort putback after shouldering Scola to the floor and the other after he whacked Scola across the body reaching for the ball in frustration.

No foul was called on that whack."
