Cleveland’s win streak was snapped at one. The Wizards got their first road win of the season against them.

The thing I find amazing is that their last two wins are both in OT. Their last 39 games are:

Lost 10 straight  
Beat NY in OT  
Lost 26 straight  
Beat LAC in OT  
Lost 1

40 games since they won in regulation!
