The best performance of Nick Young's four-year NBA career helped the Washington Wizards escape with a wild overtime victory in their latest game. It might take something truly superhuman to lift the Wizards to a road victory.

Washington tries to build off Young's 43-point effort and avoid falling to 0-19 away from home Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have lost five in a row and will likely be without Michael Beasley.
The trade of Gilbert Arenas in mid-December left a spot in the starting lineup open for Young, but the 6-foot-7 guard didn't made a huge difference in his first 11 games as a starter.
Young was averaging 13.6 points and taking 10.7 shots in 23.5 minutes per game off the bench, and though he upped his scoring average to 18.4 as a starter, he was taking 17.1 shots per contest while playing an average of 36.7 minutes.
He couldn't have been much more efficient Tuesday against Sacramento, however. Young's 43 points -- 10 better than his previous career high -- came on just 22 field-goal attempts, making 7 of 10 3-pointers to lift Washington (10-26) to a 136-133 overtime win.
