Timberwolves hold off Cleveland, snap Cavaliers eight-game home win streak

On a Monday night in Cleveland the Timberwolves and Cavaliers provided the fans with a game that including some of the most dramatic swings you could imagine.

For example: The Wolves were down 14 practically before they could get comfortable. For most of the second and third quarters the Timberwolves looked like the best team in the NBA, turning that 14 points deficit into a 23-point lead with 4-plus minutes left in the third quarter.

And then this: That 23-point lead gone, with 11.8 seconds left, Karl-Anthony Towns banged home a three-pointer that sealed a 127-122 win.
