For Game 4, the Washington Wizards beat the Toronto Raptors to even the series, 2-2. John Wall and Bradley Beal’s leadership lit up the Northern Lights.
On Sunday, the Washington Wizards beat the Toronto Raptors, 106-98, evening up the series, 2-2. Led by their backcourt, Washington came out with energy and never left their foot of the gas until the final buzzer.
Unfortunately for Toronto, it looked like only DeMar DeRozan came out to play.
While Kelly Oubre brought Washington a shot of energy with a heaping side of defense.
After being down 0-2, the Wizards took their own advice and took it one game at a time.
The pendulum has swung and now the pressure is on Toronto.
John Wall set the tempo of the game with his speed, his passing abilities and knowing where his teammates are going to be before they even knew.
He was aggressive inside the paint, and would have a tremendous one-handed dunk over Jonas Valanciunas.
Wall was the only player with a double-double, 27 points,14 assists and 6 rebounds. (Unless you want to count DeRozan’s free throws, which we’ll discuss below.)
However, Wall and Bradley Beal‘s leadership shined through, so much so that they lit up Toronto while lighting up the Northern Lights.
The Wizards trusted each other completely on the floor. The following are the takeaways for the game.
