[Saba Sports News] In a surprising turn of events, the Celtics fell to the Cavaliers 105-104, despite leading significantly in the fourth quarter and Cleveland missing Donovan Mitchell due to injury. Boston, ahead by 16 points entering the last quarter and holding a 93-71 lead with just nine minutes remaining, seemed poised to extend their 11-game winning streak.
However, Cavaliers forward Dean Wade dramatically changed the game’s outcome, scoring 20 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, including crucial three-pointers and a decisive putback dunk.
This performance led to widespread social media reactions, with many drawing humorous parallels to another D-Wade—Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade—who historically excelled against the Celtics, especially noted for his playoff performances.
Dean Wade’s standout fourth quarter not only clinched an unexpected victory for the Cavs but also reignited memories of past challenges the Celtics faced from a player with the same surname.
