Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Nutmegs aren't exclusive to soccer.
But the one LeBron James displayed Tuesday was next level. With 8:23 left in the second quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers' 116-108 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, James provided the assist of the season in the NBA.

James dribbled past half court and drove to his left, instead of passing to an open Kyle Korver, he four-time NBA MVP opted to shoot a no-look pass into the lane. The lengthy bounce pass went through Andrew Wiggins' legs and into the hands of Derrick Williams, who scored on a layup and was fouled.

James had 25 points, 14 assists, and eight rebounds in the win. Williams, who was added to the Cavaliers' roster last week, scored 13 points in 22 minutes. Wiggins faired much better on the offensive end, scoring a game-high 41 points for the Timberwolves at the Target Center.
The Cavaliers [38-16] host the Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena. The Timberwolves [21-35] battle the Denver Nuggets at 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Pepsi Center.
