Dwyane Wade doesn’t have many lowlights in his NBA career, but he certainly added one to the reel Wednesday night.
The Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics were locked in a tight Game 5 of their first-round NBA playoff series at TD Garden when Wade apparently decided to conserve some energy during a second-quarter Celtics possession.
The 35-year-old’s desire to play zero defense allowed Avery Bradley to tip in a missed Kelly Olynyk 3-pointer, and yes, Twitter noticed.

Maybe Wade was just channeling his inner Jahlil Okafor?
