VIDEO: Dwyane Wade with the putback jam all over Kevin Love

It sure looks as if Dwyane Wade is fired up about the return of good friend and former teammate LeBron James to Miami.
In the first quarter of Thursday's game, Kevin Love was on the wrong end of said excitement. Hopping in the DeLorean to some degree, Wade rushed the lane after a Norris Cole miss, leaping for a putback jam right over top of Love.
Wade, who doesn't appear to be wearing the special Christmas shoes he showed off before the game, embraced James at mid-court after introductions, with the crowd giving James a friendly ovation following a tribute video. The friendliness appears to have ceased with tip-off.
