On Monday night, the Cavaliers righted some of the wrongs from the previous evening – splitting the back-to-back against Minnesota with a tough win in which they led almost the entire way.
On Sunday at Target Center, the Wine & Gold led the T-Wolves at half but fell flat after intermission. In Monday’s rematch, Cleveland took the lead early in the second quarter and barely looked back – holding on for the 100-98 decision to snap a two-game skid.
The Cavaliers couldn’t close the deal against a reeling Timberwolves team the previous night, but were determined to hold off Minnesota on Monday.
