Cleveland Cavs Guard Dean Wade’s Most Epic Performance of the 2023-24 Regular Season The incident occurred during a one-point win over the Boston Celtics, with Jason and Travis Kelce in attendance. Wade scored 20 points in the fourth quarter to help Cleveland rally from 22 down in a 105–104 win over Boston in March.

Wade finished the 2023-24 regular season averaging 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game, while shooting 41.4% from the field and 39.1% from three-point range.
