John Wall hit a crucial jump shot with under a minute left to play to help the Washington Wizards fend off the Atlanta Hawks, 103-99, and take a 3-2 series lead in their first round match-up in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Wall finished with 20 points and 14 assists, and his jumper with 47 seconds left pegged the final score.

Dennis Schroder had brought the Hawks within two points, 99-101, by draining his fifth three-pointer of the game with 1:10 left to play.

Wall responded with the clutch shot, however, and the Hawks were unable to recover as Paul Millsap misfired on the other end.
