NBA: Jamison's 25 lift Wizards over Clippers

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Antawn Jamison had 25 points and 12 rebounds, Nick Young added 22 and rookie JaVale McGee tied his career high with 18 to help the Washington Wizards break a five-game losing streak with a 106-94 win over the Los Angeles Clippers tonight.

The loss was the Clippers' fifth straight and their 18th in 20 games.

The teams entered the game with a combined record of 19-73 — and the game lived down to expectations. Los Angeles committed a season-high 25 turnovers — 10 in the first quarter alone.
