LeBron’s Next Chapter Starts With Heat Win. Wade gets Hurt. »

LeBron’s next chapter starts with a 105-89 Heat win over the Pistons. The Big Three were together for merely three minutes. LeBron James and Chris Bosh more than picked up the slack after Dwyane Wade’s preseason debut came to a quick end. Longtime Heat guard limped off the court with a strained right hamstring and would not return. And with that, this era for the Miami Heat got off to a promising, but not perfect, start. James and Bosh combined for 38 points in their exhibition debuts, and the Heat easily beat the Detroit Pistons 105-89 in the preseason opener for both teams Tuesday night. By the final buzzer, most of the crowd was long gone. Most came to see the opening moments of this trio’s time together, and the fanfare was the sort simply not seen at most preseason games. LBJ sported his “preseason” kicks – the Zoom Soldier IV in a Miami Heat colorway.
