Wade returns sparks Cavs in Game 3 against Celtics
Cavaliers forward Dean Wade, back after 19 regular season and nine playoff games out with a knee issue and personal matters, played 16 minutes in Game 3, scoring five points with three rebounds and a block. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Wade fits on both ends and can help as Cleveland battles Boston. Wade’s return accompanies a broader effort to maintain rotation as Boston’s Jayson Tatum posted 33 points in the Celtics’ win. Wade had a season high 23 points in a March 5 win over Boston, and teammates praised his conditioning and ability to adjust on the fly.
