Cavaliers’ LeBron James reaches milestone in win over Wizards

For all of LeBron James’ achievements, the hootin’ and hollerin’ coming from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ locker room Friday night — and the water dumped on No. 23 by teammates — was to mark a relatively obscure milestone: youngest NBA player to reach 27,000 career points.

The impromptu celebration capped a perfect trip to the nation’s capital for the Cavaliers, who added a win to their White House visit by beating the Washington Wizards, 105-94, as James had 27 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. He made three of Cleveland’s 14 3-pointers.

at San Antonio 96, Detroit 86: Pau Gasol had season highs with 21 points and six assists as the Spurs snapped a three-game home losing streak . Gasol, who also had nine rebounds and two blocked shots, had 13 points in the first quarter. It was the most points he has scored in any half this season and was his second-highest total this year.

at Philadelphia 109, Indiana 105 (OT): Joel Embiid scored 16 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and overtime as the 76ers won their first game of the season. Ersan Ilyasova added 14 points for Philadelphia, which was the last winless team in the NBA.

Toronto 113, at Charlotte 111: DeMar DeRozan continued his torrid pace, scoring 34 points as the Raptors snapped Charlottte’s four-game winning streak. DeRozan came into the game averaging an NBA-high 34.1 points per game. He shot 14 of 26 from the field and made several key jumpers down the stretch as the Raptors erased a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

Utah 87, at Orlando 74: Gordon Hayward scored 20 points and Derrick Favors added 18 for the Jazz. Evan Fournier led the Magic with 21 points, but he was the only starter to score in double figures. D.J. Augustin came off the bench to 19 score points.

at Boston 115, New York 87: Isaiah Thomas scored 23 of his 29 points in the first half as the Celtics snapped a three-game skid. Kelly Olynyk added 19 points and seven rebounds.

at Portland 122, Sacramento 120 (OT): The Kings’ Rudy Gay missed a shot in the final seconds of overtime, allowing the Trail Blazers to escape with a win.
