Owner Real Deal Posted December 8, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Love's shooting stroke returned, and Andrei Kirilenko also was back for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The timing couldn't have been worse for the reeling Cleveland Cavaliers. Love had 36 points and 13 rebounds and Kirilenko delivered another solid all-around performance in the Timberwolves' 91-73 victory over the Cavaliers on Friday night. Love missed most of the first month of the season with a broken right hand, and he's been struggling to regain his shooting touch since returning nine games ago. The release looked much more fluid against the Cavs, and the trajectory was better as well. He made 10 of 19 shots and 14 of 18 free throws and is cautiously optimistic that it's all coming back to him now. "Hopefully it's not fool's gold," Love said. "It's a step in the right direction. I've been putting in work, but it's just one game." Kirilenko had eight points, seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and three blocks after missing four games with back spasms and Luke Ridnour added 12 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Timberwolves, who improved to 9-9 in their best start since the 2006-07 season. Alonzo Gee scored 16 points and Anderson Varejao grabbed 14 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who have lost four in a row and eight of their last nine while star guard Kyrie Irving has been out with a broken left index finger.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121207_CLE@MIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
