Caron Butler of the NBA's Washington Wizards kept his streak of consecutive made free throws intact today, as his team defeated the Dallas Mavericks in a Martin Luther King, Jr., Day matinee. According to this ESPN.com article:

Butler had five assists and five steals and also went 2-for-2 on free throws to extend his franchise record and NBA season high to 56 in a row at the line.

[I thank Brian Burke for making me aware that Butler was on such a streak.]
