Cleveland out of the hole after 26 losses 12.02.2011

Cleveland Cavaliers beat the LA Clippers with 126:119 and then broke a record for its negative series of 26-game losing streak in National Basketball Association.

Cavaliers guard Mo Williams evened the score six seconds before the end to send the game over. It hosts played more inspired, supported by its audience, and deservedly recorded their first win since December 18.

"I have mixed feelings. Glad you end up with this series. Minutes before I figured that if we had played so hard in the last game, we would have won," said Cleveland coach Byron Scott.

"I expect the boys to fight well in each game. If they do, everything will be fine," added Scott.

Team Miami Heat beat the Detroit Pistons 106:92 as a guest and left the Eastern Conference lead, knocking the top Boston Celtics. LeBron James recorded 16 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, Dwyane Wade added 24 points and Chris Bosh realized 17 points and 10 rebounds.
