(LeBron) James embraced his former teammates before tipoff of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 122-119 overtime win Saturday night in part of what was an uncomfortable first meeting since he signed in Cleveland.

“There was a certain level of strangeness to it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “I think it benefits both teams to get the awkwardness out of the way in the preseason.”

“I like the fact we could get everything out of the way,” said (Chris) Bosh, who had 19 points in the game. “Just let everybody see it, so we can move on. As far as seeing LeBron on another team, we’re pretty much over that now.”
