John Wall got all the glory after Game 6 when he hit a go ahead three-pointer with 3.3 seconds remaining. It was arguably the biggest shot in Wizards history, even counting the Bullets. It was definitely the biggest shot of Wall’s career. But they wouldn’t have been in that position if it had not been for Bradley Beal.

Wall was 1-of-9 in the first half with the Wizards on the ropes. But Bradley Beal was there all game long. He had 14 points at half time, 20 headed in the fourth quarter, and ended with 33. Beal was also the one who tied the game at 89 with 14 seconds left.

And you can’t forget this beauty to start the game.

Game 6 was a huge moment in Wizards basketball history.

While Game 6 will always go down as the shot that John Wall hit, Bradley Beal carried them to that point.
