Dwyane Wade drifts amid another dominant performace as Heat knot series

MIAMI -- There are moments when Dwyane Wade drifts.

Sometimes it gets him in a bit of trouble. Just consider Saturday, when Wade's mind got away from him during a warm-up routine that left him shooting baskets at the start of the Canadian national anthem heading into Game 3 of the Miami Heat's first-round playoff series against the Toronto Raptors.

Two days of international condemnation ensued from north of the border, and Wade found himself crafting explanations, clarifications and apologies for those offended by his actions. Wade was so focused on making amends Monday night, he was the first Heat player to stand in line when ‘O Canada' was sung before Game 4 at AmericanAirlines Arena.
