John Wall‘s consistency at the offensive end has put his name among one of the Washington Wizards‘ best — becoming the all-time franchise leader for most consecutive playoff 20-point games after his 24-point outing in Game 3 against the Boston Celtics on Thursday, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
Wall surpassed Hall of Famers Elvin Hayes and Earl Monroe with nine straight 20-point outings in the postseason.
The Raleigh native is averaging 29 points and 11 assists per game throughout his 2017 playoff campaign, becoming the undisputed driving force of a resurgent Washington team.
Wall's scorching run through these playoffs have helped make up for running mate Bradley Beal‘s struggles from deep, shooting an uncharacteristic 27.3 percent from deep this postseason and averaging just 17.3 points per game this series.
The Wizards will go as far as John Wall can lead them. With two 40-point games, two 30-point games and four double-digit assist performances, the Kentucky product has been every bit of the one-man wrecking crew his team has needed him to be thus far.
