Cleveland Cavaliers @ Minnesota Timberwolves - January 31, 2015 - Recap

The boos were raining down on Kevin Love and his 3-pointer wasn't falling in the building he used to call home. On nights like this in his six years in Minnesota, Love had no one to turn to for help. In Cleveland (29-20, straight 10 win), he has LeBron James, and the best player in the world wasn't about to let his new teammate down on an emotional night.

James scored 16 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter to win a stirring duel with rookie Andrew Wiggins, leading the Cavaliers to a 106-90 victory over the Timberwolves in Love's first game back in Minnesota since he was traded. Love finished with 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting and 17 rebounds. Mozgov scored 14 pointe, Irving 12.

Wiggins had 33 points and four steals for the Timberwolves (8-39), who gave Love and the Cavaliers all they could handle in front of a standing-room-only crowd. Thaddeus Young scored 19 and Nikola Pekovic had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Timberwolves, but they were just 3-for-19 in the fourth quarter. Also Kevin Martin scored 14 points.
