CLEVELAND, Feb. 29 (UPI) -- LeBron James scored 30 points Friday and finished off a late 11-0 run that boosted the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 92-84 win over Minnesota.

James also grabbed eight rebounds and handed out 13 assists in helping the Cavaliers win for the first time in three games.

Devin Brown added 13 points and Delonte West 12 in Cleveland's fifth consecutive victory over the Timberwolves.

Al Jefferson led Minnesota with 22 points. The Timberwolves have lost nine of their last 11.

Minnesota battled from behind the entire game, but was still within four just past the midway point of the final period. Cleveland then went on its 11-point run, which James finished off with a dunk.
