Video: Wizards' John Wall hits 360 layup against Knicks on Christmas

Wizards guard John Wall hit a 360-degree, spinning layup against the Knicks to kick off the NBA's five-game Christmas slate in style on Thursday.  

Washington held a comfortable lead throughout thanks to Wall's relentless pressure on New York's defense. The highlight of this one-sided affair came with roughly one minute remaining in the third quarter and the Wizards leading 81-68.

Video: Knicks' Quincy Acy ejected for flagrant foul on Wizards' John Wall

Wall and Marcin Gortat set up in a high screen-and-roll situation and the Wizards' All-Star point guard attacked hard after splitting the defense. As he entered the paint, Wall leaned left as he approached Jason Smith before corkscrewing back to his right. Wall completed a full rotation in mid-air and kissed in the spectacular layup. 

The Wizards eventually cruised to a 102-91 win.
