John Wall is becoming unstoppable

John Wall is becoming a creature of habit, that being on the verge of unstoppable. After Game 2, Wall became only the third player in playoff history with 40+ points and 10 assists against Boston. His numbers during the playoffs this year against the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics combined are a career high 29.6 points per game with 11.4 assists per game. Just during the first two games of the series against Boston, Wall averaged 30.0 points per game and 14.5 assists per game while shooting 48 percent from the field.

While the Wizards and John Wall would lead the entire game other than the score being tied twice, he continues to lead by example. Although his numbers were modest compared to Game 2, Wall finished the night with 24 points and shot 7-for-19 from the field.

Despite how physical the Wizards have played during their run in the playoffs, his personal fouls have been kept to a minimum. Committing only one on the night and 17 total throughout the postseason, Wall is a model player. As long as he remains healthy the Wizards pose a serious threat against any opponent, especially on their home court.
