John Wall had himself a very special night in the Washington Wizards 109-106 win over the Charlotte Hornets, racking up seven steals on his way to becoming the franchise's all-time leader in that elusive stat category.

The seventh-year man out of Kentucky made play-after-play at both ends of the floor, tallying 25 points and 10 assists to go with his season-high in steals. Here's the one that broke the record.

Wall would get yet another steal after that to total seven for the game. The 26-year-old Raleigh native made plays down the stretch to give the Wizards their 10th win of the season — including this and-one drive to the basket in the fourth quarter.
Huge moment, huge play, GREAT radio call. Listen in to @davejsports on @JohnWall… #WizHornets pic.twitter.com/8Abifq5KVA
