#2 John Wall's performance was most certainly sub-par

John Wall had one of his worst shooting nights ever playing on an away court or for that matter, any court. He shot 4-15(26%) from the field in the 25 minutes he played, and missed 2 of his 3 shots from downtown.

Although he ended up with 3 steals in the game, the All-Star point guard could only score 11 points, which was too less for the already sinking Wizards.

He averaged 20 points a game across the previous 10 matchups but almost certainly, could not hit the mark when the Wizards visited the Sixers. Playing against an ultra-talented roster like Philadelphia, you would need everybody on your team to step up, let alone just the starters.

As expected, Bradley Beal's lone 19-point effort was in dire need of reinforcements from his fellow point guard, which evidently never arrived. Sadly, this was Wall's second-lowest score of the season and even more so, this was the second instance in the last five games that he had ended up scoring just 11 points.
