PREVIOUSLY...the Washington Wizards (for the second time this young season) beat the Philadelphia 76ers in overtime Tuesday night. It was the first game back for John Wall after missing 4 games with a left foot sprain. He came of the bench to score 25 points and earn 6 assists.

Wall's NBA career got off to a quick start thanks to his 28-point, 9-assist game against the Hawks on October 30th.
The Hawks won a tight contest 99-95.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
