On March 6, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to be fierce, and the Boston Celtics challenged the Cleveland Cavaliers away. The Celtics, who have won 11 in a row, are on the rise, while the Cavaliers have been plagued by injuries recently and have relinquished the second place in the East to the Bucks. The Celtics quickly built a double-digit lead from the start of the game, but the Cavaliers recovered some points thanks to a rotational lineup. However, once the Celtics' main lineup came on the court, they immediately reextended their lead and led by 10 points at halftime. At the start of the second half, the Cavaliers chased the deficit to four points, but the Celtics then launched an 18-2 attack to regain the score. At the start of the fourth quarter, the Celtics led by as many as 22 points, but the Cavaliers showed amazing resilience, hitting a 31-12 attack wave in the following period, and finally completed a shocking comeback to defeat the Celtics 104-105.

Although the Celtics performed well in this game, with Tatum, Brown, Boshen and other players combined to contribute 71 points, 25 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, they ultimately underestimated the strength and resilience of the remnant Cavaliers.

In contrast, the Cavaliers were more decisive and organized, finishing with 0Seven seconds into the Cavaliers' one-point lead, the Cavaliers managed to hold on to the victory.

In the whole game, Wade played 21 minutes off the bench, shooting 8-of-11 (6-of-9 three-pointers), contributing 23 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and a plus/minus of 16.
