No.1 Draft pick John Wall was all over the place in his home debut. He poured in 29 points, 13 assists, nine steals (tying a franchise record), eight turnovers and five fouls in 45 minutes on a sprained right ankle. The Wizards beat the Philadelphia 76ers 116-115 in overtime Tuesday night. Wall upped his season assist total to 31 -- and one of them set up a wild shot that sent the game into overtime. With 3.1 seconds remaining, Wall inbounded the ball to Cartier Martin, who nailed a 3-pointer at the top of the key to tie the game with 0.3 left on the clock.
Wall added four points and a steal in overtime -- picking Turner's pocket and converting the turnover into a pair of free throws -- as the Wizards won for the first time this season.
