VIDEO: Nene and Wall team up to turn defense into offense and beat the halftime buzzer

Brad Mills / USA Today Sports

After their offense was completely stymied on Friday, to the tune of 32.9 percent shooting and just 63 points, the Washington Wizards came out gunning in Game 4, nearly equaling their entire Game 3 output with 55 first-half points. 

One of the keys: getting out in transition. The Wiz had just eight fast-break points in Game 3, but already have 18 at the half on Sunday. That includes these two, courtesy a coast-to-coast, behind-the-back John Wall layup just ahead of the halftime buzzer, following a monster Nene block at the other end. 

Apparently Wall wasn't kidding when he said he'd gotten his vision back.
