Kevin Love did start tonight against the Pacers, despite that bruised knee that made him a game-time decision.

As for other stuff:Â

*Â Lazar Hayward is out tonight because of that gastroenteritis thing that has hit Wes Johnson, Sebastian Telfair and Anthony Randolph ever since they all ate at the same place in Philadelphia last week. At least that's what Kurt Rambis thinks the common thread is.
*Â Randolph is back after missing practice Tuesday and is available to play.
