Dec 1 (The Sports Xchange) - Washington guard John Wall scored a season-high 35 points, and coach Randy Wittman's seat cooled ever so slightly after the Wizards' impressive 97-85 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
It was the Cavaliers' first home loss of the season following a 9-0 start at Quicken Loans Arena. Cleveland had won 29 of their previous 30 home games.
Cleveland's LeBron James scored 24 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, but committed nine turnovers. The Cavaliers (13-5) shot 33.7 percent and committed 18 turnovers.
They still possess the best record in the East, but are 5-4 following an eight-game winning streak.
