Wade has won 2 straight in this series
Gibbs went nuclear — 37.9 points, enough to win this game almost by himself — and Wade didn't need much else, cruising to a 137.78–101.8 win that was never really close after the first quarter of lineups locked in. Joel got a quiet 27.9 from Stafford but Isaiah Likely's 2.3 is the kind of number that makes you stare at your phone and wonder what you were thinking. Wade left essentially nothing on the bench; Joel left nearly five points sitting there, which isn't catastrophic, but in a game decided by 36, it's just salt. Wade now owns three straight in this series, and with both teams inside a division that will settle itself quickly, this one already has the feel of a standings separator.
