Wall had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, but he missed 20 out of his 29 attempts, as well as a possible game-winning three pointer at the end of the overtime Wednesday, reports Xinhua.

Nene Hilario contributed 17 points to the Wizards while Trevor Ariza and Bradley Beal recorded 14 points apiece.

Celtics forward Jeff Green scored a personal season-high 39 points. Rookie point guard Phil Pressey added a career best 20 points.
