MIAMI -- LeBron James and Dwyane Wade wrapped each other in a pregame embrace, chatted and laughed at halftime, then hugged again after the final buzzer.
Just like old times.
Only this time, just one got to enjoy a victory.
James' return to Miami as an opponent was a success -- for the Heat, that is. Wade scored 24 of his 31 points in the first half, Luol Deng had 25 points and dogged James defensively all night, and the Heat beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-91 in a hyped Christmas matchup Thursday.

ESPN Stats & Info takes a closer look at how Thursday was supposed to be about LeBron James' return to Miami but how Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng stole the show. Story
"We didn't have a bad breakup," Wade said. "We played against each other for seven years, man. The weirdness just wasn't there. It wasn't like we played against each other our whole career and the breakup happened. We played against each other for seven years, then with each other for a period of time, then he went back to the same situation and I'm in the same place."
Here's an example of how their relationship has endured: When James, who returned to Cleveland in the offseason after four seasons and two titles with the Heat, and the Cavaliers landed in South Florida on Wednesday, the four-time NBA MVP went to Wade's house for a night of Christmas Eve revelry.
James turns 30 on Tuesday. He had questions for the 32-year-old Wade about what changes at that age. That's what they talked about, no smack about how the Cavaliers are perceived to be a championship contender and how the Heat aren't even at the .500 mark.
"We only play this game for so long," said James, who got a warm ovation when a video of his Heat highlights played in the first quarter. "You've still got life afterwards. For us we're going to compete, we're going to go about our business and do what we need to do in our profession. You'll never let friendship come in between that."
It was fitting that they talked about life after 30 -- because for the seventh time in their head-to-head meetings, both scored at least 30 points.
James had 30 points and eight assists for the Cavaliers, who got 25 from Kyrie Irving and 14 from Kevin Love.
"Couple of the best in this generation," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said about the James vs. Wade nights. "Spectacular. I wish I could sit back and enjoy it like a fan, because it's just fantastic basketball. ... However long these two guys play, you'll get your money's worth."

Deng had eight points and eight assists for Miami. Chris Andersen scored 12 for the Heat, who led by as many as 17, trailed for a moment in the fourth quarter before gathering themselves and pulling away again.
Miami was again without Chris Bosh, still sidelined by a calf injury.
Wade was just 2 for 12 after halftime. Backcourt mate Mario Chalmers was 2 for 12 for the game.
It didn't matter.
Miami found a way, even after a 17-point lead slipped away -- just like a 23-pointer did against Philadelphia two nights earlier.
James had a go-ahead dunk in transition with 11:20 left. After that slam put Cleveland up 78-77, he got a technical foul for hanging on the rim a bit too long -- so that lead lasted exactly zero seconds.
Wade made a free throw after the technical, tying the game. And up 90-87 late, the Heat finished on an 11-4 spurt.
"We're not that good right now," James said. "We've won some really good games, we've lost some games, but we're not that good right now."
TIP-INS
Cavaliers: Love started at center, replacing the now out-for-the-season Anderson Varejao. James had left leg tightness after leapfrogging a row of baseline seats in the third quarter, and Irving bruised a knee in a collision in the final moments. ... Cleveland's next trip to Miami is March 16.
Heat: Wade made his 10th Christmas start, twice as many as any player in Heat history. Chalmers started on the holiday for a fourth time, tying Bosh and James for third-most. ... The second half was briefly delayed while lights were coming back up after Flo Rida's halftime show.
FREE THROWS
James took 18 free throws. The Heat took 17.
DENG'S NIGHT
Deng never before had a game with at least 25 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. "This game meant a lot to a lot of people," Deng said.
UP NEXT
Cavaliers: At Orlando on Friday night.
Heat: Host Memphis on Saturday night.

Research Notes

LeBron James' stat line today against the Heat looks similar to his line from 2010 in his first game against the Cavs although his Miami team pulled out the victory in that game.
  [+]
When LeBron James touched the ball on the offensive end against the Heat, the Cavaliers averaged 1.1 points per play and shot 54.5% from the field. When James did not get a touch, the Cavs averaged 0.6 points per play and shot 28.6% from the field.
Kyrie Irving went 1-of-6 on pull-up jump shots in the 2nd half after scoring 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the first half. The Heat opted to defend Irving with Norris Cole in the 2nd half, after Irving shot 4-of-4 on pull-ups when defended by Mario Chalmers in the 1st half.
Cleveland ranks 23rd in defensive efficiency this season, allowing 105.3 points per 100 possessions. - Each of the last 13 NBA champions ranked in the top 10 in defensive efficiency in the regular season. - The last NBA champion to rank outside the top 10 were the 2000-01 Lakers (T-18th). - Among the last 30 NBA champions, only 2 team ranked outside the top 10 in regular-season defensive efficiency. The 1994-95 Rockets (12th) and 2000-01 Lakers (T-18th).
Dwyane Wade's numbers are quite comparable to what LeBron James has posted in the early going. PER = a rating of a player's per-minute productivity Ast pct = the percentage of teammate field goals made a player assisted when he was on the floor
Luol Deng drove 9 times Thursday, triple his season average (2.9). On those drives, Deng scored 10 points and shot 4-for-4 from the field, including 3-3 when guarded by LeBron James.
How do the 2014-15 Cavaliers stack up to the 2010-11 Heat through 27 games? Miami was 2 games better and while the two offenses were quite similar during that span, it's the defensive end that has to be a concern for this Cavs team. Cleveland ranks 23rd in defensive efficiency this season, allowing 105.3 points per 100 possessions. Each of the last 13 NBA champions ranked in the top 10 in defensive efficiency in the regular season.
  [+]
While the Cavaliers defensive efficiency has been nearly identical with Anderson Varejao on/off court this season, one less rim protector could be problematic for Cleveland. According to NBA.com player-tracking data, Cavs opponents are making a league-high 13.5 field goals at the rim per game this season. And Cleveland is allowing opponents to shoot 57.0 percent on those shots, the 2nd-worst percentage in the league (Timberwolves 57.3).
  [+]
Defense is a concern for the Cavaliers ... They rank 4th in the league in offensive efficiency but 23rd in that category on defense. Take a look at the 7 teams that rank worse and you'll find one thing in common - none of them have a winning record.
  [+]
The Cavaliers have been playing better defense as of late. Cleveland started the season 5-7 but has posted a 12-3 mark since.
  [+]
LeBron James has a 7-1 record in Christmas games while averaging 26.9 points, 7.8 assists and 6.8 rebounds. From Elias: Among players to play in a minimum of 5 Christmas games, only LeBron James, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson averaged at least 26 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.
The Cavaliers went 1-13 against the Heat during LeBron's time in Miami, spanning 2010-11 through last season (James played in 13 of those games, posting a 12-1 record). Cleveland has dropped 10 straight games in the series. During LeBron's 4-season stint in Miami, Cleveland posted the worst record in the league (.311 win percentage).
From Elias: There has never been a year where both finalists from the previous season entered Christmas 7th or worse in their conference. Both the Spurs and Heat enter Christmas in 7th place in their respective conferences.
The Heat enter this game at 13-16 after a disappointing home loss to Philadelphia on Tuesday. While Miami is obviously missing a key component with the departure of LeBron James, over the last 30 years - only 2 teams finished below .500 in the season after making it to the NBA Finals (1998-99 Bulls and 2004-05 Lakers).
  [+]
The Heat scored 44 points in the paint Thursday, including 6 of their last 8 points. Entering the game the Heat were averaging just 34.8 paint points per game, the second-fewest in the league.
