The Cleveland Cavaliers overcame a 44-point display from Anthony Edwards to maintain their grip on the NBA Eastern Conference with a 128-107 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.

De’Andre Hunter’s Cleveland debut was a rousing success — even if he didn’t have to do much — as the Cavaliers never trailed in a 128-107 pounding of the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA Monday night.

On this night, that didn’t matter as the Minnesota Timberwolves finished just 2 of their 21 attempts from the field. Cleveland never looked back from their 30-12 lead after the first quarter to run away with a 128-107 victory.
