Timberwolves crush Cavaliers

12/4/2010

MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Love had 28 points and 19 rebounds and the Minnesota Timberwolves snapped a six-game losing streak with a 128-95 victory over Cleveland on Saturday night, two days after the Cavaliers were thrashed by LeBron James.

Like LeBron in his homecoming on Thursday night, Love did all his damage in three quarters and the Timberwolves hit a franchise-record 18 3-pointers to blow out the Cavaliers.

Antawn Jamison had 17 points and Ramon Sessions 18 for the Cavs, who had no energy or drive against a team that was playing on the second night of a back-to-back and entered the game tied for the fewest wins in the NBA.

It looks like LeBron beat them twice.

The Cavs shot 38.6 percent and were outrebounded 46-29.
