Ex-Gopher J.B. Bickerstaff has Cavaliers among top teams in the East

CLEVELAND — Nothing that has happened with the Cleveland Cavaliers this season has surprised Taurean Prince.

Prince is now with the Timberwolves, who played the Cavaliers on Monday in the front end of a difficult back-to-back that will end against Golden State on Tuesday in Target Center.

But last year Prince played in Cleveland.

Under coach J.B. Bickerstaff, the former Gophers player, the Cavaliers have played through myriad injury problems and entered Monday's game 36-24 and in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

Bickerstaff has been around the league as an assistant coach for five teams, including the Timberwolves.
