Red, White, and Saucing You

John Wall is the best point guard in the NBA.

Don’t agree with me? That’s okay, because John Wall takes your consumption of Haterade and raises you a 32 point, 14 assist performance.

The Wizards got off to a really hot start earning an early 11 point lead. Then Beal went to the bench with 2 fouls and the Hawks went on a big scoring run to keep the game close, but John Wall took over in the third, and Beal sealed the deal in the fourth; hitting clutch shot over clutch shot. They say that basketball is a game of runs, but I’m placing my money on one of the fastest guys on the league running the Hawks out of the gym.
