WASHINGTON (AP) - John Wall had 29 points, 13 assists, nine steals and eight turnovers in his home debut, outshining fellow rookie Evan Turner as the Washington Wizards beat the Philadelphia 76ers 116-115 in overtime Tuesday night in the first matchup of the top two picks in this year's draft.

No. 1 choice Wall's eventful game gave the Wizards their first win of the season. Cartier Martin caught Wall's inbounds pass and hit a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime.

No. 2 pick Turner, who came off the bench and wasn't a factor until the second half, scored all of his nine points in the fourth quarter and finished with six rebounds for the 76ers, who are 0-4 for the first time since 2001-02.
