NBA: Cavs, Warriors Win, Bulls Thump Thunder

LOS ANGELES, Feb 2, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 02nd Feb, 2017 ) - The NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers put a disappointing January behind them on Wednesday, delivering an overwhelming offensive performance in a 125-97 triumph over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kyrie Irving passed for a career-high 14 assists and added 14 points, and superstar LeBron James added 27 points and 12 assists for a Cavs team that struggled to a 7-8 record in the first month of the year.
The team's 37 total assists were a season high, and they scored their most points in a game since a December 7 home victory over the New York Knicks. "Are we going to have 37 assists every night? No.
We have to make shots still, but the way Kyrie was moving the ball, myself, got guys involved, guys felt good when the ball got to them and they just locked and loaded and shot," James said.
"We have to continue to do a great job and see what happens." James said at morning shoot-around he was focused on getting the current Cavs playing like a championship team, after calling on management to add a playmaker to fill a vacant roster spot.
The Cavaliers auditioned several free agents on Wednesday afternoon, although coach Tyronn Lue declined to comment on the chances any of them would be signed. "We're just continuing to look at ways to get better," Lue said. "Just starting the process of looking and seeing what we can find. That's it."
