Cleveland Cavaliers Outplay Boston Celtics in a Nail-Biting 105-104 Victory
Celtics' Winning Streak Snapped in Cleveland
Wade Leads Cavs' Rally to Victory
The Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night, snapping their nine-game winning streak with a thrilling 105-104 victory. The Cavs trailed by 22 points in the fourth quarter but rallied behind a stellar performance from backup Dean Wade.
Wade, who scored a career-high 23 points, led the Cavs' improbable comeback. He hit three pivotal three-pointers in the final frame, including the game-winner with just 1.5 seconds remaining. The Celtics had a chance to tie or win the game at the buzzer, but Tatum's desperation shot fell short.
The Celtics were led by Jayson Tatum, who finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. Jaylen Brown also had a strong outing, scoring 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting. However, the Celtics' offense struggled in the fourth quarter, as they shot just 35% from the field.
The Cavs' victory was their second straight and improved their record to 21-15 on the season. They are now 8-3 at home and have won three of their last four games overall. The Celtics, meanwhile, fell to 22-12 and had their nine-game winning streak snapped. They are now 7-5 on the road and have lost two of their last three games.
