The Washington Wizards opened an NBA season at home Wednesday night for the first time since 2011.
Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers came to town - and brought some loud, chanting fans with them - but it was the Wizards who would come out on top.
Led by John Wall’s 28 points, eight assists and five rebounds, Washington squeaked by Philadelphia with a score of 120-115 at the Capital One Center in Washington D.C.
Bradley Beal tallied 25 points, while Marcin Gortat notched 16 points and 17 rebounds.
