A matchup with the lowly Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night provided All-Star point guard John Wall of the Washington Wizards with the perfect opportunity to end his triple-double drought.

In 33 minutes of action, Wall scored 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting, grabbed 13 rebounds, and handed out 10 assists as the Wizards walked away with a 106-94 win at Verizon Center.

It was Wall's first triple-double of the season, fourth of his career, and first since 2013-14.

His final assist of the game, which clinched his triple-double, came on a beautiful alley-oop lob to teammate Bradley Beal.
