In a thrilling NBA matchup, the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled off a stunning victory against the Boston Celtics, ending the Celtics' impressive 11-game winning streak. The game saw Dean Wade shine as he scored 20 points in the fourth quarter, including five crucial 3-pointers that helped the Cavs overcome a 22-point deficit.

The Cavaliers achieved this remarkable feat despite missing key players Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley due to injuries. Wade's career-high 23 points, along with contributions from Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland, propelled Cleveland to a dramatic 105-104 win.

The game's final moments were filled with tension as the Celtics looked to secure a victory, but a replay review overturned a foul call on Garland, ultimately sealing the Cavaliers' victory. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 26 points, but it was not enough to fend off Cleveland's spirited comeback.

This victory adds to the Cavs' recent string of impressive wins, including a buzzer-beater against Dallas last week. The team's resilience and determination were on full display as they outplayed the NBA-leading Celtics in a thrilling contest.

Looking ahead, the Celtics will face defending champions Denver in their next game, while the Cavaliers are set to take on Atlanta in their upcoming matchup. The NBA fans can expect more exciting basketball action as these teams continue to showcase their talent and competitive spirit on the court.
