Dwayne Wade returned to the Miami Heat's starting line-up Sunday night, and led the team to a 93-90 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers. He led all scorers with 33 points.

If there was any rust from missing four games, D-Wade certainly didn't show it. He came out blazing, hitting his first four shots. He had every thing working. Spectacular reverse lay-up's, pull-up jumpers, drives to lane resulted in either a basket or a trip to the foul line. It was vintage Wade.

In the first half, Wade absolutely lived at the line. He went 11-13 from the charity stripe in just the first half.

Every thing was working for Wade, who had 25 points at halftime, but the rest of the team struggled.

Portland couldn't miss in the first half. They shot 53% from the floor and 50% from behind the arc. Brandon Roy was especially hot. He was draining 3's and doing serious damage down low, with his back to the basket. He had 16 points at halftime and finished with 18.

Portland led 60-52 at the half.

The Trail Blazers started the third quarter with an 8-0 run and quickly built up their largest lead of the night (16 points). Little by little, the Heat chipped away. First, they did it with excellent ball movement, ensuring that almost every player get a hand on the ball before a shot was attempted. Then late in the third, they did it with defense, forcing six turnovers in the quarter. During the first minutes of the fourth quarter, the Heat got with in two, Blazers led 75-77.

The Heat and Blazers continued to slug it out in the fourth, like two heavy weight fighters in a title match. The lead changed four or five times before Miami went ahead for good.

Zach Randolph, the Trail Blazers' go-to-guy, started off the game slow thanks to foul trouble, but got things going in the second half. In the fourth quarter, where the Heat and Blazers were trading baskets, Randolph nailed a bunch of big shots keeping the Blazers either ahead or down by a basket. He finished with 15 points.

The play of the game took place in the fourth quarter with only a little over a minute left in the game, Wade drove the lane taking on the entire Portland team and dunked in Zach Randolph's face.
