Numbers are not on the side of the Washington Wizards who look to force a Game 7 in their Eastern Conference Semifinal series later tonight. Teams who are facing elimination at home are 0-10 this season and the Wizards have lost seven straight in that situation. John Wall and Bradley Beal talked after the morning shootaround; here are the highlights:

John Wall

On losing the game and not the series on Wednesday:

“Really wasn’t any point in looking at the film of that. We didn’t play well at all from the start of the game."

On not losing in another Game 6 in the Eastern Conference Semifinal:

“It would be a disappointing season. It would be a waste of time, I feel like the season was a waste. We don’t get to where we want to go.”

On when to relay the importance of tonight’s game:

“You don’t talk about it right now. You talk about it before the game. You want everyone to just be calm and relaxed [right now]. Stay in the same routine, it’s just another game. Understand that our season is on the line, but you have to treat it as another game. Understand that it is a very important game and come out with a lot of energy. You don’t want to put too much pressure on guys and get these guys thinking too much throughout the day.”

On the mindset that no home team has won an elimination game this year:

“We see the record, 0-10 for home teams to lose in elimination game. You just try to change that outcome. You just have to be positive and have a great mindset that you can win.”

On current situation based on start to the season:

“You in the position to say, you have to win two games to get to the Eastern Conference Finals, the way we started the season, you wouldn’t ask for a better situation then having a Game 6 at home.”

Bradley Beal

On the message to the team and if there is anything different:

“Not really, we know what is at stake. We know that we are capable of winning. That’s our goal going into the game obviously. We want to give ourselves a chance to get back to Boston, that’s our goal. Just get back to Boston, whatever it takes. We realize we have played well at home, but that doesn’t guarantee us a win. Coach emphasized that.”

On what the team has learned from Game 6 losses in 2014 and 2015:

“Every possession counts and it’s the same throughout every series. Coach repeatedly says it, but especially in a game like this, every possession counts. You can’t press too much, all you can do is focus on the possession at hand. You can’t worry about making or missing shots. All you can do is control what you can control and that’s our defensive effort and intensity and just let our offense take care of itself. We scored 100 points every game so that’s not our problem.”

On John Wall’s swagger helping when team is in a funk:

“I think it helps a lot, especially here at home. We feed off his energy. He’s a guy that is super emotional, he plays hard, he plays with passion, he plays with energy. He lets everyone know it and he lets everyone see it and us as a team, we feed off that. We feel like he’s going and he’s confident and he’s confident in this team and he has the mojo going. Guys feed off of that. Both of us are like that. Our body language and how we are over the course of a game, our mentality; our teammates feed off of that.”

On the magnitude of the game:

“John and I, we want to move forward. We’ve been in this situation before, we’ve been to the second round twice. We want to get further. We don’t want to be stuck in the same spot, want to get to the Eastern Conference Finals. We want to get over this hump.”

On proliferation of three-point foul calls:

“It doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried and it don’t work for me.”
