Live Cricket BPL reports that Dwyane Wade delivered a vintage performance in Game 2 of the first-round playoffs, leading the Miami Heat on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite a slow start, Wade exploded in the second quarter, racking up 21 points by halftime and surpassing multiple career playoff milestones along the way.

After dropping Game 1, the Heat entered Game 2 under pressure and found themselves trailing by 7 points at the end of the first quarter. But in the second, Wade flipped the switch, entering what fans often call his “old man mode.” He hit shot after shot and found his teammates for easy buckets, completely turning the tide. By halftime, Wade had made 8 of 9 shots and went 5 of 6 from the free-throw line, finishing the half with an ultra-efficient 21 points.

Live Cricket BPL highlights that entering the game, Wade had scored 3,882 career playoff points, ranking 11th on the NBA’s all-time list. He needed just 16 points to pass Celtics legend Larry Bird (3,897), and with his dominant first half, he did exactly that—moving into 10th place all-time. Next on the list is Tony Parker, who sits at 4,014 playoff points.

But that wasn’t Wade’s only climb up the record books. Before tipoff, he had made 1,423 career playoff field goals—just two shy of tying Wilt Chamberlain’s mark of 1,425 for 13th place in NBA history. After sinking 8 shots in the first half, Wade officially passed Wilt and took sole possession of 13th.

Live Cricket BPL also noted Wade’s rebounding milestone. He came into the game with 911 playoff rebounds, ranking 58th all-time, just two behind Vlade Divac. With three boards in the first half, Wade moved past Divac into 57th place.

In Game 1 against the Sixers, Wade played 19 minutes, scoring 11 points with 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 4-of-7 shooting. But in Game 2, he reminded everyone why he’s one of the greats—dominating both the scoreboard and the history books. Live Cricket BPL will continue to track Wade’s journey as the Heat fight to keep their playoff hopes alive.
