If he wants to earn full respect for being the best Point guard in the East, he’s going to have to rise his level of play. Analysts have pointed out when given the ball, he couldn’t make that big time shot. Well for the first time ever in Wall’s career, he was given the ball during a crucial time of the game once again. With 7.7 seconds left, Wall connected on a three point shot to give his team the lead and ultimately the win to force a game seven.
