CLEVELAND (AP) — Gorgui Dieng scored 22 points, Shabazz Napier had 21 and the Minnesota Timberwolves blew a 25-point lead before regrouping for a 118-103 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night.

Cleveland rested disgruntled forward Kevin Love and may have lost rookie Kevin Porter Jr. for an extended period with a knee injury.

The Cavs trailed 90-65 with four minutes to go in the third quarter and seemed done. But Dante Exum got hot and his 3-pointer with 8:29 left capped a 32-6 blitz to give Cleveland a 97-96 lead, .

The Timberwolves recovered and scored 14 straight with Dieng dropping two 3-pointers during the five-minute stretch to help Minnesota avoid an embarrassing loss.

Andrew Wiggins came back after missing four games with the flu and scored 15 points for the Timberwolves. They won for just the fourth time in 16 games.

Exum, recently acquired in a trade with Utah, scored a career-high 28 points — 24 in the second half — for the Cavs. Theydropped their fourth in a row amid drama surrounding Love.

Porter, the 30th overall pick last year, hurt his left knee in the third quarter. The slender guard, who has shown positive flashes for the rebuilding Cavs, had his knee buckle awkwardly when he tried to change directions. He immediately grabbed his leg and had to be helped to Cleveland’s locker room.

With the Cavs playing their second straight game, Love sat out for extra rest, his absence coming a night after he showed frustration toward teammates in a loss to Oklahoma City. Love has been the subject of trade rumors for months and his future in Cleveland has never been more in doubt.

With the deadline approaching, there is likely to be more interest in Love, who has two years left on his four-year, $120 million contract extension.

The Timberwolves were without center Karl-Anthony Towns. He missed his 10th straight game with a sprained left knee.

Minnesota made four 3-pointers in the final two minutes of the first half with Robert Covington’s 3 just before the horn giving the Timberwolves a 66-48 lead.

Timberwolves: Dieng added 13 rebounds. … Wiggins was the No. 1 overall pick by Cleveland in the 2014 draft before the Cavs traded him in the deal for Love. … G Jeff Teague returned after missing two games with a sprained right knee and played 17 minutes.

Cavaliers: Love sat on the bench in street clothes. Coach John Beilein did not say if he’ll be disciplined for Saturday’s outbursts, which included yelling at general manager Koby Altman during the morning shootaround. … Cleveland was missing size as F Tristan Thompson was out with the flu and F Larry Nance missed his second game in a row with a sore left knee. Nance could miss two weeks.

MIAMI (AP) — Goran Dragic had 29 points and 13 assists, Bam Adebayo added 20 points on 9-for-10 shooting and the Miami Heat never trailed in a 122-111 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night.

Dragic tied a career best with seven 3-pointers. Derrick Jones Jr. scored 19 points for the Heat, who got 14 from Kendrick Nunn and 12 points in 22 minutes from little-used James Johnson — who was called upon largely because Miami was without Jimmy Butler.

Tyler Herro scored 11 points for Miami, as did Meyers Leonard in his first game against his former team.

Damian Lillard led Portland with 34 points and 12 assists. Former Heat center Hassan Whiteside, booed almost every time he touched the ball, finished with 21 points and 18 rebounds for Portland. Anfernee Simons scored 19 points off the bench.

Miami improved the NBA’s best home record to 17-1 — two wins shy of its home total for 41 games last season — and is 10-0 after losses.
