Miami Heat enjoys being out of the glare but yearn to make up for last season

MIAMI — A reporter tugged on his arm, so Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade stepped off to the side in a corridor just outside the team’s locker room, happy to accommodate. This was something rare: Wade, still in his workout gear, faced just one questioner, not throngs. No such opportunity would have been conceivable last preseason. Cameras and chaos crowded into every media session, making private moments impossible.

More than a year after debuting its big three — Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh — and six months after falling to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals in six games, the Heat have experienced an uncommonly placid couple of weeks while the Los Angeles Clippers, New Orleans Hornets, Orlando Magic and other teams caught in the lockout-induced trade-and-signing frenzy have made bigger headlines.
