Regular Season Round 108: Cleveland C. - LA Clippers 126-119 OT
Date: February 11, 2011
Daniel Gibson grabbed his heavy gold chain and exhaled as he dropped it over his head. He looked up at the cameras around him and let out a grin he'd been storing for nearly two months. "Whew," he said. "I can smile again." The Cavaliers can breathe again, too. The misery, the losing streak and the humiliation that accompanied it all ended Friday in a blend of Mo Williams' grit, J.J. Hickson's desire and Antawn Jamison's shooting touch. The 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. "When you go on a streak like that . . . you realize how precious it is to win games," said Gibson, who had 10 points in overtime and finished with 17. "To win is a precious feeling." They squandered a lead late in regulation, but 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. "I didn't want to see them celebrate," Davis said, "so I got kicked out of the game." 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. *Courtesy of www.miamiherald.com
