Notes: Minnesota, the NBA's worst 3-point shooting team, missed on its two attempts from behind the arc. ... Kemp, criticized for being overweight and not getting off the floor like he used to, drove past Garnett and threw down a vicious windmill dunk in the third quarter that looked like the Kemp of old. ... With Minnesota rookie Wally Szczerbiak in town, more than 200 members of a Miami (Ohio) alumni club attended the game. Szczerbiak, whom the Cavs had hoped to draft, scored seven points. ... The Cavs have been outscored in the third quarter in 20 of their 24 games this season.
