(AP)CLEVELAND: Nick Young scored 31 points, and John Wall had 19 points and 14 assists as the Washington Wizards snapped its 25-game road winless streak to start the season with a 115-100 win Sunday over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Wizards opened a 25-point lead in the third quarter, survived a Cleveland comeback and got their first road win since April 9 at Boston.
Antawn Jamison scored 21 and J.J. Hickson added 16 and 13 rebounds for the Cavs, who stopped their losing streak at 26 on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers but failed to post back-to-back wins for the second time this season.
Celtics 85, Heat 82: At Boston, Rajon Rondo had a triple-double with 11 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds as Boston beat Miami, with the defending Eastern Conference champions clinching the season series against their top pursuer.
LeBron James scored 22 points for Miami, which had won eight in a row. But he missed the first of two free throws with 13 seconds left and the Heat trailing by two points. He dived into the stands to knock away the inbound pass, but threw it right to Ray Allen.
Glen Davis made both of his free throws with 6.3 seconds to go, and Mike Miller missed a 3-point attempt in the final seconds that would have sent the game to overtime.
With the win, the Celtics (39-14) took back the top spot in the conference from Miami (39-15) and earned the tiebreaker for home-court advantage in the playoffs.
Magic 89, Lakers 75: At Orlando, Florida, Dwight Howard had 31 points and 13 rebounds as Orlando earned its first victory over a winning team in more than a month.
Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum each had 17 points to lead the Lakers. Lamar Odom added 13 and Pau Gasol 11.
Jason Richardson chipped in 12 points for the Magic.
Grizzlies 116, Nuggets 108: At Memphis, Tennessee, Darrell Arthur scored a career-high 24 points and Zach Randolph led a late rally that helped Memphis erase a 17-point third-quarter deficit against Denver.
Raptors 98, Clippers 93: At Toronto, Andrea Bargnani scored 27 points, and Ed Davis had 13 points and a career-high 14 rebounds as Toronto beat the Los Angeles Clippers.
Trail Blazers 105, Pistons 100: At Auburn Hills, Michigan, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 36 points and Wesley Matthews added 24 as Portland beat Detroit for its fourth straight victory.
Kings 113, Suns 108: At Phoenix, Donte Greene scored 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter as Sacramento, playing without DeMarcus Cousins, ended a five-game losing streak.
Warriors 100, Thunder 94: At Oakland, California, Monta Ellis had 32 points, and David Lee added 23 points and a season-high 19 rebounds as Golden State led the entire fourth quarter on its way to a win over Oklahoma City.
