Bobcats startle Heat, Wade in his return

As Dwyane Wade walked onto Miami’s home court for the first time in 6 1/2 weeks, Charlotte Coach Bernie Bickerstaff called time out, deflating a loud greeting from the Heat crowd.

And that wasn’t all the Bobcats spoiled on Sunday.

Gerald Wallace scored 30 points, Walter Herrmann made two three-point baskets in the final minute of overtime and the Bobcats ruined Wade’s return from a dislocated left shoulder by beating the Heat, 111-103.

“I came back and at times, I looked OK and at times, I didn’t,” said Wade, who missed 23 games because of the Feb. 21 injury.

Wade played 27 minutes and scored 12 points, shooting three for nine from the field and six for 12 from the free-throw line. The Heat made only 26 of 44 from the line and committed a season-high 26 turnovers.

Wade could have won it in regulation with the Heat trailing, 92-91, when he was fouled with 2.4 seconds left, but he made only the second of two free throws to force the overtime.

Detroit 87, Cleveland 82 -- LeBron James, who had 41 points in a victorious meeting with the Pistons last month, was limited to 20 on five-for-16 shooting as the visiting Cavaliers lost the rematch.

Toronto 103, Chicago 89 -- Outscoring the Bulls, 36-22, over the final 13:56, the host Raptors won for the eighth time in their last 10 games and moved to within 1 1/2 games of Chicago and Cleveland for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. Anthony Parker had a career-high 27 points for Toronto. Ben Gordon scored 27 for Chicago.

Houston 112, Sacramento 106 -- Tracy McGrady had 40 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in his return from a back injury to help the visiting Rockets end a three-game skid.

Philadelphia 109, Atlanta 104 -- Andre Iguodala scored 25 points and the 76ers rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit to win in overtime at Philadelphia.
