Towards the end of the Washington Wizards victory over the New York Knicks, Wizards point guard John Wall went to go for a shot when Knicks big man Quincy Acy went in and fouled Wall hard.
Check it out.
Wall later wasn’t too sure if Acy threw a punch or not and said the following.
Wall on whether Acy threw a punch: “I don’t know. I ducked. I know when I push somebody you ain’t about to stand there straight up.”
