John Wall Dropped A Gorgeous Dime On This Between-The-Legs Pass Against The Thunder

The Washington Wizards have been red hot in the recent past and that continued on Monday evening. By the end of three quarters, John Wall and company held an insurmountable 28-point lead over Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder and it was simply the latest in big-time statements from the sudden Eastern Conference contenders.

However, the most explosive play of the evening came in the aforementioned third quarter, as Wall unleashed a brilliant pass that served as something of a dagger. With Washington already leading 84-57 midway through the period, Wall used a bit of flash to throw a well-timed, through-the-legs pass to a streaking Otto Porter and the young forward did the rest with a powerful flush.

Wall and Bradley Beal have further emerged as the best backcourt in the conference this season and this was yet another example. The fact that the highlight included Porter, who has been fantastic in 2016-2017, was oddly fitting as well and the exorbitant nature of the delivery served as a reminder that the Wizards were simply on another level from the Thunder on this particular night.

John Wall and the Wizards are beginning to look like a scary basketball team and, even if they weren’t, this pass would feel right at home on any highlight reel.
