Washington Wizards point guard John Wall got emotional after a double-overtime victory against the Boston Celtics.
In a postgame interview, Wall, who finished with 26 points and 17 assists, dedicated the game to six-year-old cancer patient Miyah Telemaque-Nelson, who passed away with Burkitt's Lymphoma on Monday morning. Telemaque-Nelson was a fan of Wall's and Wall helped her meet Nicki Minaj.
In the postgame interview, Wall said, "It's just tough, man, to see a little kid fight so hard for cancer and can't beat it. This game's for her, my jersey, my shorts, I'm gonna give it to her family. It's a tough day for me. I really cried today, so..."
Wall trailed off, welling up with tears, and then broke down:
