"Emotionally and physically drained, the Heat limped home Saturday after its third consecutive loss.

Dwyane Wade is injured three times over and the Heat ended its trip by finding three different ways to lose three winnable games to Western Conference competition. That invincible feeling that accompanied the Heat's 8-1 start to the season? It's gone.

That's the bad news.

The good news, as Wade explained it Friday night, is that he didn't break his leg in the fourth quarter against the Nuggets. That was his initial thought when he rolled his ankle after landing on Al Harrington's foot. Writhing in pain, Wade feared the worst."
