The NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 126-119, in overtime, ending the longest losing streak in professional sports history at 26 games.
They share that record with the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but a loss to the Clippers would've given the Cavs the record all to themselves.
They lost the lead late in regulation, but Antawn Jamison's 3-pointer with 22.1 seconds left in overtime gave the Cavs a 123-119 lead. The Clippers' last chance ended when Randy Foye's jumper rattled in and out. Hickson grabbed the rebound and the Clippers' Baron Davis was slapped with a technical foul and ejected.
Jamison tied a season high with 35 points and surpassed 18,000 points for his career. Hickson had the game of his life with 27 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks while defending the Clippers' Blake Griffin and Williams had 17 points and 14 assists in 31 sensational minutes off the bench.
