John Wall tallies career-high 18 assists in win over Knicks

John Wall’s 18th assist Friday night in the Washington Wizards’ 106-93 win over the New York Knicks came with 46.7 seconds to spare in the third quarter.

He did not realize he had set a career high, a significant achievement for one of the NBA’s elite passers, but there was another milestone on his mind.

“Everybody on the team was just trying to tell me to get 20,” Wall said.
