VIDEO: John Wall closes out win over Lakers with 4-point play and a shimmy

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

John Wall didn't have his best game on Wednesday, but he may have had his best moment.

With his Washington Wizards ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers late, Wall hit a three in the eye of Kobe Bryant, falling to the floor in the process. After a friendly shooter's roll and the And-1, Wall gave the fans a little shimmy on the court:

The Lakers were previously undefeated against the Eastern Conference, so Washington's 111-95 win is cause for celebration. It also moves the impressive Wizards to 12-5, and gives them a win to hang over former Wizard Nick Young, who had a solid game with 21 points on just 14 shots.

Wall finished with 17 points on just 6-of-18 shooting but also added 15 dimes, setting up teammates Bradley Beal (11-of-19 for 27 points) and Marcin Gortat (9-of-13 for 21 points) at will.

Bryant, meanwhile, scored 29 points on 8-of-22 shooting, basically living at the line.
