NBA Wade shows rustin return to Heat

He shot free throws like Shaquille O'Neal and had nearly as many turnovers as assists.

Yes, Dwyane Wade was rusty. The Miami Heat weren't concerned, though, because he was also pain-free.

Wade's struggled in his first game in more than six weeks helped the Charlotte Bobcats beat the Heat 111-103 in overtime Sunday. The NBA finals MVP played 27 minutes, scoring 12 points on 3-for-9 shooting from the field and 6-for-12 from the foul line. He had eight assists but committed six of Miami's season-high 26 turnovers.

"It's exciting to get back, but at the end of the day, you always want to win. You always want to come back and help your team win," Wade said. "I came back and at times, I looked OK and at times, I didn't."
