So long, Atlanta. It's been fun.
John Wall put the finishing touches on the Washington Wizards' 115-99 victory in Game 6 Friday with this layup, part of the 13 consecutive points he scored to end the night.
Reveling in the moment, Wall decided to wave good-bye to the Hawks fans in attendance at Philips Arena afterward, letting them know that he was the one responsible for sending their beloved team packing from the playoffs.
Wall's 42 points were a playoff career high. He also grabbed eight rebounds and stole the ball four times in 43 minutes of action.
