John Wall owned the moment Friday night in Game 6 to keep the Wizards' hopes alive for a Game 7 against the Celtics.
Wall hit the game-winning shot, a 3-pointer right in the face of defender Avery Bradley with seconds left on the clock to give Washington the 92-91 victory.

Wall broke down the moment after the game and his description will send chills down the backs of any Wizards fan.

These words prove even more how much Wall wanted to step up in that big moment. Wall has upped his game this season as much as any All-Star in the league, taking the next step to where he is knocking on the door of the conversation regarding top five point guards in the league.
If he can take it a step further, and lead the Wizards to a win in Game 7, that will only add to the already impressive campaign he's had this year.
