John Wall has praised his Washington Wizards teammates after they secured a place in the Eastern Conference's semi-finals.

The conference's fifth seeds beat the Chicago Bulls 75-69 last night to take an unassailable 4-1 lead in their playoff series.

The forward, who was the team's top scorer during the win, told reporters: "The main thing is to focus on and know what this team is capable of. I just give a lot of credit to my teammates and the coaching staff and the great gameplan and making adjustments and committing ourselves to play on every given night."

The Wizards will face either the Indiana Pacers or the Atlanta Hawks in the next round.
