The Cleveland Cavaliers took care of buisness Wednesday night as they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 109-95.

Cavs second-year forward J.J. Hickson scored a game-high 23 points in the win on eight of 10 shooting from the field.

"He ran the floor well and guys did a good job of finding him," Cavs coach Mike Brown said of Hickson. "His activity was good."

Hickson also grabbed eight rebounds in his 24 minutes.

Lebron James scored 12 points and dished out 11 assists.

"It's good every now and then to get one of these wins and be able to relax," James added. "A win is a win."

Jamario Moon added 14 points off the bench for the Cavs, and O'Neal, Ilgauskas and Daniel Gibson each scored 13.

In the loss Corey Brewer scored 22 points for the second straight game.

Kevin Love scored 20 in a reserve role, and Al Jefferson and Ryan Gomes had 14 apiece.

"Cleveland's length, size and driving capabilities gave them way too many points in the paint and that that was the telling sign of the ballgame," said Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis. "It's awful tough to stop a team that has that much."

Minnesota will be back in action Friday night as they host the Los Angeleas Clippers.
