Dwyane Wade comes up clutch against Kings

Dwyane Wade showed up when it mattered most as he hit the go-ahead jumper against the Sacramento Kings late in the fourth quarter Monday night.

Dwyane Wade put the Chicago Bulls on his back late in the fourth quarter. Despite leading by double digits after three quarters of play, the Chicago Bulls needed a clutch play by Wade to defeat the Sacramento Kings during Monday night’s game.

The Bulls star hit a clutch jumper to put them up for good with 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Moments after hitting the eventual game-winning shot, Wade came up big on the defensive side of the ball.

He forced a Kings turnover that prevented them from tying up the game at the buzzer before sealing the victory with an emphatic slam.

On the night, Wade scored 31 points on 12-of-18 shooting overall. The Bulls rely heavily on Wade and it was evident during the fourth quarter. Chicago should have never been in a tight game late against the Kings. However, Sacramento used a 30-11 run at one point in the final quarter to close up the gap.

With the game tied at 107, Wade took matters into his own hands. He scored the Bulls’ final seven points as they won 112-107. He showed once again why Chicago wanted his services in the offseason.

Things are working out much better in Chicago than in Miami despite some drama with his teammates this season. Likewise, Wade isn’t having any medical issues that put his NBA career in jeopardy.
