Dean Wade scored 20 points in the 4th quarter to lead the Cavs to the victory.

Dean Wade scored 5 3-pointers and had 20 points in the 4th quarter, and the Cleveland Cavaliers won a replay review in the final second to shock Boston Celtics 105-104 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, OH, ending the league-leading Boston’s winning streak at 11 matches.

Cleveland overcame a 22-point deficit in the final quarter to win the match.

Cavs were without star Donovan Mitchell, who missed the match with a knee problem, as well as forward Evan Mobley, who left the court in the 3rd quarter with an ankle problem.

Dean, who ended the match with a career-high 23 points, outscored Boston 20-17 in the final quarter.

Boston looked for a final shot, and the team superstar Jayson Tatum, who led the organization with 26 points, drew a foul on Darius Garland while shooting with less than a second on the clock.

However, the home team challenged, and after the review, the referees changed the decision in favor of the Cavaliers and they won.

Boston will play against the Nuggets in Denver on Thursday, while Cleveland will face the Hawks in Atlanta tomorrow.
