Wade concluded the game with a career-high 23 points, and his putback dunk with 19.1 seconds left secured the Cavaliers' narrow victory. A crucial replay review in the final second, overturning a foul call on Darius Garland against Boston's Jayson Tatum, further sealed the Cavs' triumph.

The Indiana Pacers secured a 137-120 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, with Myles Turner scoring 20 points, and Tyrese Haliburton recording 19 points and 11 assists. Luka Doncic's impressive 39-point triple-double for the Mavericks wasn't enough to secure a win.
