Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love dislocated his left shoulder in the first quarter against the Boston Celtics on Sunday and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

The Cavs won 101-93 to sweep the first-round Eastern Conference series.

Love will travel back to Cleveland with the Cavs later Sunday and receive additional examination, imaging and evaluation at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health over the next 24 hours. The team said his status will be updated following the evaluation.

With 5:22 remaining in the first quarter, Love was chasing a long rebound with Boston forward and Toronto native Kelly Olynyk, whose right arm locked around Love's left. A foul was called on Olynyk and Love grabbed his shoulder and ran off the court and straight to the locker room at the opposite corner of the court.

"I thought it was a bush-league play," Love said after the game. "I have no doubt in my mind that he did it on purpose."

Love, who has had an injury-plagued career in his seven years, was averaging 18.3 points, nine rebounds and three assists per game in the first three games of the series. Love, acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves last offseason, has an option on his contract for next season.

Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith was ejected from Sunday's game after injuring Celtics forward Jae Crowder as the pair jockeyed for rebounding position.

Crowder was diagnosed with left knee sprain and was out for the rest of the game. Smith was called for a Flagrant-2 foul and ejected.

Smith, who received a push in the back from Crowder, flailed back with his right arm and sent Crowder to the floor. While Smith seemed to be apologizing, Crowder lay on the floor and was then helped to the locker room.

A mini scuffle broke out in the second quarter when former Celtics center Kendrick Perkins, trying to free LeBron James from Crowder, hammered the Celtic to the floor. Crowder got up and approached Perkins, who flicked him near his left eye with a finger as they were being separated. Perkins was called for a Flagrant-1 foul and both players received technical fouls.
