Deadspin | Cavaliers look to sort out finishing issues against trending Wolves

The Cleveland Cavaliers host the unbeaten Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday after starting the season with big early leads that haven’t always held up. Cleveland opened at Philadelphia with a 114-106 loss, then followed with a 125-121 home win over the Brooklyn Nets despite letting the Nets close to two late. Donovan Mitchell scored 22 points in that second game. Kenny Atkinson’s team has received strong output from Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, averaging 63.5 points, 24.0 rebounds and 4.5 blocks combined. Guard James Harden has hit 6 of 20 shots, while forward Peyton Watson has struggled after arriving from Denver. Minnesota comes in after three straight wins, including an 11th consecutive home opener victory over Toronto.
