CLEVELAND, March 27 (UPI) -- LeBron James turned in a typical performance Friday and the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled to their 11th straight victory by drubbing Minnesota 107-85.

With six games remaining on its own court in the regular season, Cleveland boosted its home record to 34-1 and improved its NBA-best overall record to 59-13, one game ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers (58-14).

James scored 25 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and handed out seven assists. Mo Williams added 22 points and Delonte West had 13.

Kevin Love and Randy Foye had 18 each for Minnesota, which has lost seven in a row.

Cleveland went on an 11-0 run late in the first half to take a 56-39 advantage at intermission.

The Cavaliers, who are 19-2 since the All-Star break, have won their last seven meetings with the Timberwolves.
