Wade doesn’t help as Seattle wins first

MIAMI

-- Rookie Kevin Durant said it felt as if Seattle won a world championship. Pat Riley sounded as if his championship feeling couldn’t have been further away.

And the Seattle SuperSonics were more than happy to ruin Dwyane Wade’s comeback game.

Chris Wilcox scored 20 points, Damien Wilkins had 19 and the SuperSonics spoiled Wade’s return to the Heat lineup by beating Miami, 104-95, Wednesday night -- Seattle’s first win in nine games this season.

Durant finished with 18 points on six-for-16 shooting for Seattle, which took a 20-point halftime lead to negate whatever emotional lift Miami got from Wade’s comeback from off-season surgeries on his left knee and left shoulder.

Wade scored 15 points in 25 minutes on five-for-nine shooting for Miami (1-7), which is 0-4 at home for the second time in franchise history.

“I’m excited. I came out of the game healthy and got some things I can look at to build on,” Wade said. “But as a team, it hurts to lose another ballgame, especially at home, in front of our fans.”

Ricky Davis scored 19 points on five-for-18 shooting for Miami. Shaquille O’Neal had 10 points.

“Unless you feel like you have something at stake or something to lose as a player, then things won’t change,” Riley said. “If you don’t feel like the Heat mean something to you . . . you have to have a real meeting with yourself about what you care about. I don’t see a team that really feels like they have anything at stake here. They come in, they play, they get beat, they go home, they go out into the night.”
