PHOENIX (Ticker) Nov. 05 -- After winning their first game of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers will fly to Minneapolis to face the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Cavs will parade a very awesome game with the trio of LeBron James, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Jeff McInnis.
"I hope we can repeat our last night win," said Coach
Flip Saunders.
"After our practice, I watched the Blazers/T-Wolves game. The true is that the Wolves are more aggresive," Drew Gooden admitted.
Fatigue factor will be a concern for both teams.
"Yeah, we're a little bit tired, on last night game and traveling here," Ira Newble said.
Cleveland has got guard Dajuan Wagner and off-season adquisition Scott Williams in the injured list.
