JOHN Wall starred in his home debut, leading the Washington Wizards to a 116-115 overtime win over the visiting Philadelphia 76ers yesterday and getting the better of Evan Turner in the first clash of the two top picks in this year's draft.
Cartier Martin caught Wall's inbound pass and hit a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime.
No. 1 choice Wall had 29 points, 13 assists, nine steals and eight turnovers, helping the Wizards to their first win of the season after two defeats.
No. 2 pick Turner, who came off the bench and wasn't a factor until the second half, scored all of his nine points in the fourth quarter and finished with six rebounds for the 76ers, who are 0-4 for the first time since 2001-02.
Lou Williams led the 76ers with 30 points.
Celtics 109, Pistons 86
