Wall finished the game with 24 points, six rebounds, and 11 assists. He leads all Eastern Conference guards in assists, and second overall in the NBA.

It was Wall’s ninth game this season with at least 20 points and 10 assists, the most in the NBA.

“I’m just a feisty guy that likes to compete,” Wall said. “And I want to win games.”

Even though they only won by 11 points, the game was never close. The Wizards led as many as 22 points during the contest and never trailed at any point.

Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony did all he could to keep the team in it, as he scored a game-high 34 points.

The Wizards improved to 20-8 while the Knicks fell to 5-26.
