Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - In his first game in Minnesota since being traded, Cavaliers forward Kevin Love got the boos he expected when he was introduced before the game.

James scored 16 of his 36 points in the final frame for the Cavaliers, who have won 10 in a row. Thaddeus Young ended with 19 points for the Timberwolves, who fell to 8-39 on the season. Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin had 14 points apiece, with Pekovic also pulling down 12 rebounds. Trailing 85-83 early in the fourth, James threw down a dunk, hit a pair of 3- pointers, made three free throws and connected on a jumper to give Cleveland a 96-87 edge with 4:29 left. Earlier, the Cavaliers shot 54.2 percent from the field in the first quarter en route to a 30-21 lead. Love had six points and nine rebounds in the frame. Trailing 45-36, Minnesota used an 11-2 run to tie things up. Cleveland led 52-49 at the break. The Timberwolves outscored the Cavs by a 30-24 margin in the third to take a 79-76 lead.

Ted Ligety, Mikaela Shiffrin, Bode Miller and Tim Jitloff underlined the squads enormous potential on the Rettenbach glacier in Austria.AUSTIN, Texas - The Livestrong cancer charity is reporting a sharp drop in donations and revenue after founder Lance Armstrong admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during most of his record-setting cycling career.In federal forms released this week, Livestrong noted its 2013 donations dipped 34 per cent, from nearly $23 million to $15 million after Armstrongs televised admission to Oprah Winfrey in January 2013. Total revenue also took a 38 per cent dive after commercial sponsorships were cancelled or not renewed.Without specifically referring to Armstrong, Livestrong blamed the financial downturn on fallout from revelations and disclosures made in January 2013.Armstrong, a cancer survivor, started the charity as the Lance Armstrong Foundation in 1997. He was removed from its board of directors in late 2012, around the same time the foundation changed its name.A Livestrong spokeswoman did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment. Livestrong President Doug Ulman thanked supporters in a letter titled Never Give Up and posted online Wednesday.Because of your support, you helped us weather a tough period and move to the next phase of our evolution, Ulman wrote.Despite the downturn, Livestrong last month agreed to give $50 million over 10 years to the University of Texas new medical school for a program emphasiizing patient-centred cancer care.ddddddddddddLivestrongs donations have fallen 63 per cent from $41 million in 2009, the year Armstrong came out of retirement and finished third in the Tour de France. He won the race seven times, only to have those titles later stripped away after his doping admission.Daniel Borochoff, founder of CharityWatch, which analyzes the work of approximately 600 charities, said the sharp decline last year was expected.It is a big hit, Borochoff said. Not to say they wont be able to recover as time goes by. Its fresh in peoples mind.Livestrong was particularly vulnerable to the scandal surrounding its founder because the popularity of both was so deeply connected. Armstrongs doping revelations led big corporate sponsors and partners such as Nike and Dicks Sporting Goods to flee by either cancelling contracts or not renewing them. For corporations, the taint of doping was too strong to stay, and individual donors were angry, Borochoff said.People go through a mourning process when they hear of the scandal. They were a big supporter, he was a big hero and they were fans. Then youre embarrassed and ashamed. Its a lot of emotions, Borochoff said. Later, your rational facilities take over and realize the organization serves a worthy purpose, that it is not a man and can bring in new leadership. ' ' '
