The Wizards got their first road win of the season on Sunday night when they topped the Cavaliers in Cleveland.
Washington began the season 0-25 on the road, four shy of the NBA record for road losses to begin a season. The 1992-93 Mavericks started 0-29 on the road.
"Like Christmas," rookie John Wall said when asked to describe the win.
Wizards coach Flip Saunders delivered an emotional speech to his team over breakfast on Sunday.
“Coach got on us,” Andray Blatche said. “It was like a clip from “Any Given Sunday,” and we rallied up from that. We finally got that road win.”
