MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- LeBron James shot 70 percent from the floor and scored 32 points Wednesday, sending Cleveland sailing past Minnesota 93-70.

James turned in such an outstanding performance, he received a standing ovation from a majority of the Minnesota fans when he left the game with 3:20 to play in the fourth period.

The Cavaliers bounced back from a Sunday loss to Atlanta that ended their 11-game winning streak. Delonte West chipped in 21 points, Anderson Varejao had 13 and Wally Szczerbiak had 10.

Minnesota lost its 11th game in a row, including the first six for Kevin McHale as head coach. Al Jefferson paced the Timberwolves with 20 points. Minnesota made only one three-point attempt in 14 tries.
