Cavs Upset Celtics, End 11-Game Winning Streak
Wade's Fourth Quarter Surge Leads Cleveland to Victory
Game Summary: Cleveland Cavaliers 105, Boston Celtics 104
The Boston Celtics' 11-game winning streak came to an abrupt end on Monday night as they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-104. Despite a strong start, the Celtics were outscored 34-18 in the fourth quarter, allowing the Cavs to steal the victory.
Dean Wade led the charge for Cleveland, scoring 20 of his game-high 23 points in the fourth quarter. Wade hit a pair of three-pointers and made several key plays down the stretch to secure the win.
The Celtics were led by Jaylen Brown's 27 points, but he was held scoreless in the fourth quarter. Derrick White also added 25 points for Boston, but his hot shooting from deep (5-of-9 from three-point range) wasn't enough to overcome the Cavs' late surge.
The win snapped Boston's longest winning streak of the season and dropped them to 45-18 on the year. The Cavs, meanwhile, improved to 42-22 and remain in contention for the Eastern Conference title.
