CLEVELAND: Kyrie Irving passed for a career-high 14 assists to go with his 14 points and LeBron James had 27 points and 12 assists in the Cavs’ 125-97 victory Wednesday over the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was a much-needed jolt to start the month of February after they struggled through a miserable 7-8 January.
It’s the most points the Cavs have scored in a game since a Dec. 7 home win over the New York Knicks. They’ve now won three of their past four games.
Irving and James combined for 26 of the Cavs’ 37 assists — which is why they held a free agent workout earlier in the day featuring Mario Chalmers, Kirk Hinrich, Jordan Farmar and Lance Stephenson.
