CLEVELAND -- Interim general manager David Griffin said before the Cavaliers game Sunday night that hed like to see a few more smiles from his team. Braylon Edwards Seahawks Jersey . Following Clevelands 91-83 overtime win over Memphis, there were happy faces all around the locker room. "The game is fun," said Kyrie Irving, who scored 28 points as Cavaliers won back-to-back games for the first time in a month. "Being out there, just competing at the highest level. At the end of the day, its just a game." The Cavaliers, who broke a six-game losing streak Friday night against Washington, have won both games since general manager Chris Grant was fired last week. Irving scored the final four points in regulation to tie it. Luol Dengs 3-pointer on the first possession of overtime put Cleveland ahead for good, 81-78. While a two-game winning streak wont remedy all the teams problems in an adversity-filled season, the Cavaliers want to seize on any positive momentum they can find. "Everybody was putting too much pressure on themselves," Irving said. "We needed to go out there and play basketball. Going out there the last two games, whether the game gets tight or gets away from you, it should be fun." Nick Calathes scored 17 points to lead Memphis, which has lost three of four since winning six straight. Deng began the overtime scoring with a 3-pointer from the corner as the shot clock was winding down. Baskets by Dion Waiters and Anderson Varejao, sandwiched around a 3-pointer by Calathes, left Cleveland with an 85-81 lead. A resounding dunk by Waiters and four free throws by Irving put the game away. "They had the two best players on the floor in Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving," Grizzlies coach David Joerger said. "They really took the game over from start to finish." Joerger blamed the Grizzlies poor first half, in which they fell behind by 14 points, for the loss. "We slogged in the mud at the start tonight, which you cant do on the road," he said. James Johnson scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to help Memphis erase a nine-point deficit. Cleveland led 74-65 but was held scoreless for 4:54 as the Grizzlies took a 78-74 lead. Irving tied it with a layup with 18 seconds remaining and was fouled, but missed the free throw, giving Memphis the ball with 16.7 seconds left. Zach Randolph lost the ball while driving the lane and Waiters heave from just inside halfcourt hit off the backboard. Griffin met with the players at Sunday morning at the shootaround while owner Dan Gilbert spoke with them prior to the game. "I think it woke up a lot of people," Waiters said of Grants dismissal. "Me, I felt half of that was my fault, how we played. We just didnt come out right as a unit. I think it cost the man his job. If we had been playing the way we have the last two games hed probably still be here. We cant dwell on the past, weve got to continue to play the way weve been playing and keep it up." Waiters scored 18 points, and C.J. Miles added 14 for Cleveland. Johnson scored 15 points for Memphis. Randolph, who left the game in the second quarter to get three stitches to close a cut under his left eye, had 14 points. Calathes, playing in place of the injured Mike Conley, made his first six shots and was 7 of 9 from the field. Randolph went to the locker room late in the second quarter after taking an elbow in the face from Tristan Thompson while they were going for a rebound. Randolph was on the court for a couple of moments and asked for a towel to put to his face. He tapped hands with Thompson before jogging off the court with a team trainer. Randolph returned to start the third quarter. "Teams know we try to go inside to Zach and let him go to work, but weve got to do something with all five guys, not always depend on our horse down there," Said Memphis forward Tayshaun Prince. "We cant allow Zach to always be our hero. It puts us in a tough spot and it puts him in a tough spot." Deng started after missing Fridays game with the flu.

"You hate when they score," he said with some distaste at the thought. "You take pride in it.Lyle Taylors extra-time strike sent AFC Wimbledon through to the Sky Bet League Two play-off final after beating Accrington 3-2 on aggregate. Stanley had got right back into the tie after trailing 1-0 from the first leg thanks to a Josh Windass penalty in the first half, and they doubled their lead on the night thanks to a stunning effort from Piero Mingoia. But AFC Wimbledon werent to be pegged back for long, with Adebayo Akinfenwa heading home to level the aggregate score before Taylor hit home from a rebounded save to send the Dons through to Wembley. Josh Windass of Accrington Stanley scores the opening goal from the penalty spot Neal Ardleys men will now face Plymouth in the final on May 30.AFC Wimbledon started the game stronger, with Taylor looking lively as he put three efforts past the post in the opening 10 minutes, with Andy Barcham also pressuring the home defence. Adebayo Akinfenwa was pleased to make an impact after coming off the bench But signs of life from Accrington came not long after as Shay McCartan headed on a cross from Seamus Conneely into the path of Tom Davies but he couldnt quite get a touch on the ball as it flew into the hands of Kelle Roos. Sean Rigg could have put the visitors ahead just before the half-hour mark as his shot from the edge of the area skimmed the crossbar before Adam Buxtons cross found the head of McCartan - but he could only fire into the arms of Kelle Roos. Shay McCartan is closed down by Andy Barcham and Dannie Bulman But it was Accrington who took the advantage not long before half-time after Scott Brown was fouled by Rigg in the box, and Windass stepped up to score his eighth penalty of the season.After an even start to the second half, Accrington took the lead for the first time in the tie after a stunning effort from Mingoia, who went on a solo run from the middle of the park to the top of the box and let fly, curling a fantastic effort into the top corner with Rooss having little chance of saving it. K.J. Wright Jersey. AFC Wimbledon manager Neil Ardley praised the character of his side AFC Wimbledon got themselves back into the game after a cross from Fuller on the right hand side found the leaping Akinfenwa in the box and he powered his header past Ross Etheridge to send the travelling fans behind the goal into raptures.The Dons could have added another not long after as Kennedys cross found Ade Azeez in acres of space at the near post, but his header went agonisingly wide before Etheridge was called into action to keep a scrambled Barcharm header out of the net.Akinfenwa came the closest to nabbing a winner in the closing stages of normal time, but his effort from the top of the box flew wide of the post. Accrington manager John Coleman was disappointed to see his side sacrifice a two-goal lead Azeez was the first to have a glimmer of a chance at the start of extra time as his bicycle kick was cleared off the line by Davies but AFC Wimbledon took advantage not long after. Reeve went on a great run through the middle of the park and saw his shot palmed away by Etheridge but Taylor was there to net the rebound.Acccrington didnt create many chances in extra time and after a brief stoppage due to broken floodlights, AFC Wimbledon should have added another as Azeez twice went close but they managed to see the game out to go through to the final.
