John Wall gets emotional remembering young fan during post-game interview (VIDEO)

Wizards point guard John Wall befriended a six-year-old cancer patient named Miyah Talamaque-Nelson last season.

When Wall — who helped the little girl meet her favorite singer Nicki Minaj — found out Miyah died on Saturday of Burkitt's Lymphoma, an inspired Wall went out and scored 26 points with 17 assists in leading Washington to a double-OT win over the Celtics as a tribute Monday night.

It was a game to remember — for a little girl he'll never forget.

After the game, Wall was left speechless and in tears attempting to talk about the little girl.

‪John Wall steals and seals the win against the Nets (VIDEO)‬

The Wizards have been a thorn in the Nets' side all season and, on Saturday, this play from John Wall was more of a nail — as in final nail in the coffin of Washington's 101-94 win.

The Wiz led by five with just over 30 seconds remaining, thanks to a huge game off the bench from Drew Gooden, who scored 11 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter — when they finished a 14-3 run to end the game.

On this play, Joe Johnson misses the jumper, and Wall comes up with the loose ball, splits two defenders near midcourt and finishes with the slam that put the exclamation point on the Washington victory.

As the final seconds ticked off on a win that completed a season sweep of Brooklyn and moved the Wizards into sole possession of fifth place in the Eastern Conference, Wall held the ball screaming, “This is my city!”
