Washington Wizards: 3 takeaways from Game 4 vs. Raptors

1. John Wall woke up in the fourth quarter

When Bradley Beal went out with his sixth foul with 4:58 remaining in the game, there was a bit of panic throughout the arena. It seems everybody forgot about John Wall, but he reminded fans why he’s considered one of the top guards in the NBA after his Game 4 performance.

Wall finished the game with 27 points, 14 assists, six rebounds and three steals. He shot 10-of-24 (41.7 percent) in the game, but it was his play in the fourth quarter that got Washington the victory in the end. He had eight of the Wizards’ final 14 points as they closed the game on a 14-4 run to pull away from the Raptors, 106-98.

While some may say he shoots too much, in his defense, he’s still averaging 13.0 assists against Toronto in the first round. Hard to really call that a selfish number considering all that the Wizards have been through this season.
