MIAMI -- When the final buzzer sounded, after Dwyane Wade handed his sweaty pink jersey to old teammate Chris Bosh and shared a few laughs with Channing Frye, Wade grabbed Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Collin Sexton for a chat at center court.
"He is a competitor," Wade said following Miami's 118-94 win. "You could see that from high school. Just seeing the look on his face afterwards, you know, losing just isn't fun. Even though you are a young team or a rookie, losing still isn't fun."
It wasn't his rookie year, but Wade has lived through these same struggles.
