CLEVELAND, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Nick Young poured in 31 points and the Washington Wizards notched their first road win of the year Sunday, a 115-100 decision over Cleveland.

Young went 14-of-21 from the floor and John Wall added 19 points and 14 assists for Washington, which halted a 25-game road losing streak to start the season.

Andre Blatche added 17 points, nine rebounds and five assists, and Kirk Hinrich also had 17 points as the Wizards won in Cleveland for first time in eight tries.

The lowly Cavaliers, meanwhile, went right back into the loss column after snapping an NBA-record 26-game skid with an overtime victory over the Los Angeles Clippers Friday.

Antawn Jamison led the Cavs with 21 points and seven rebounds and J.J. Hickson added 16 and 13 for Cleveland, which fell to 9-46 for the season.
