On Friday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers finally got their ninth win on their 27th try, leading to a triumphant confetti celebration that wasn’t remotely embarrassing at all. Now, two nights later, with warmth and love in their hearts, they turned their attentions to a fellow team in need—in this case, of a road win. And win those Wizards did! Easily. Like, ridiculously easily. 115-100.
While not quite as monumentally pathetic as a 26-game losing streak, the Washington Wizards’ 25-game road losing streak certainly demands some respect. In fact, in the weeks leading up to this contest, many onlookers were desperately hoping for both teams’ craptacular skids to remain in tact, setting up the sort of “something’s gotta give” scenario that always makes for good drama. Actually, it probably has more to do with the bizarre enjoyment Americans seem to get out of seeing a whole lot of desperate, talentless people gathered in one room, like any show on VH1. But alas, it wasn’t to be. The Cavs beat the Clippers, so the pressure shifted to the Wiz to get over their lingering phobia of different colored basketball courts.

How many times did I hear “It’s over!!!” in the post-game wrap-ups? Fifteen? Twenty? Hell, the NBA home page even ran a red banner: “
It's a historic night down at the Q tonight. The Cavs are in line to tie the 1889 Louisville Colonels (I'm assuming they played baseball) and the Tampa Bay Bucs of 76-77 (Again baseball, I'm almost certain) with the longest losing streak in professional sports history.
While 8-year-old Sam Bracken fended off more than his fair share of degenerates, probably the last thing in his mind was the thought that football would one day take him out of his sordid Las Vegas life and into the world of corporate executives and motivational speakers with a story so moving it 
It’s a sad day for Phil Hubbard, Brad Branson, Paul Mokeski, and the rest of the ’82 Cavs, for they stand alone no longer atop the pantheon of suck. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise and greet your new holders of the NBA’s all-time consecutive losses record, the 2010-2011 Cleveland Cavaliers!
