The Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves are playing live on the NBA schedule on Saturday night and it starts at 8 pm ET from the Target Center and the game marks the return for Kevin Love to his original team and he should get plenty of boos on the night and LeBron James can give him some advice about all of that.
The Cavaliers come into the game after a win against the Sacramento Kings and they will next play against the Sixers on the schedule. The team is 28-20 and they have won nine games in a row and they are second in the central division behind the Chicago Bulls. The Cavaliers had a tough stretch when LeBron was injured, but now the team is on a roll and they are back in the mix in the east.
The Cavaliers have been playing very well on offense and the additions of JR Smith, Iman Shumpert and Timofey Mozgov has made an impact. The Cavs got 23 points and 10 rebounds from Kevin Love against the Kings and now he heads back to Minnesota. Love was traded from the Timberwolves before the season and now he will play his first game in front of the fans and he said he was ready to hear it from them. Love has played well for the Cavs and getting Mozgov has helped Love on defense and now the team looks like they can be a contender.
The Timberwolves have been very bad this season and they have just eight wins and now the Cavs get to see the players they traded in action. Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett were traded to Minnesota in the deal for Love and the team now comes in after a loss to the 76ers. The Wolves next play on the road against the Dallas Mavericks and this is a good chance for the Cavaliers to keep things rolling against Minnesota.
