MIAMI – Miami’s season-long wait for Dwyane Wade ended. So, too, did Seattle’s quest for its first win of the Kevin Durant era.

Chris Wilcox scored 20 points, Damien Wilkins added 19 and the SuperSonics spoiled Wade’s return to the Heat lineup by beating Miami 104-95 Wednesday night – Seattle’s first win in nine games this season.

Durant, the highly touted rookie, finished with 18 on 6-of-16 shooting for Seattle, which stormed out to a 20-point halftime lead to negate whatever emotional lift Miami got from Wade’s comeback from offseason surgeries on his left knee and left shoulder.

Wade scored 15 points in 25 minutes on 5-for-9 shooting for Miami (1-7), which is 0-4 at home for the second time in franchise history.

Ricky Davis scored 19 points on just 5-for-18 shooting for Miami. Jason Williams scored 14, Alonzo Mourning added 13 and Shaquille O’Neal finished with 10 for the Heat.

The Heat were down by 23 early in the fourth quarter, before an 18-3 run led by Wade made things interesting.

He had assists on Miami’s first four baskets of the spurt, then banked in a jumper and added a fifth assist on Williams’ 3-pointer that got the Heat within 94-83.

Davis’ three-point play cut the lead to eight, but Delonte West’s 3-pointer – Seattle’s 10th of the game – restored the Sonics’ double-digit lead and essentially sealed the outcome.
