Bayerns players wore black armbands and a minute of silence was observed before kickoff in honour of former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who died on Friday. Bayern also expressed condolences, in German and Catalan, on its website. Before becoming head coach, Vilanova was the assistant of Pep Guardiola, who is now the Bayern coach. "We experienced a lot together. We lost together and won together. This is a very difficult situation," Guardiola said. "The sadness will accompany me forever." Guardiola said he was disappointed with his players for the first time this season after their performance in the first half. "The fans dont deserve to see such a first half. In the second, it was better," he said. "But the win is good for our mood." Guardiola, wearing a dark blue sweater instead of his customary suit, left several regulars on the bench and saw his team get off to a slow start and fall behind after 10 minutes. Cedrick Makiadi led a counterattack and sent a perfect pass to Theodor Gebre Selassie, who slotted past Manuel Neuer. Ribery got the equalizer 10 minutes later. Pizarro got a loose ball and sent a through pass to Ribery, who shot through the legs of Bremen goalkeeper Raphael Wolf. Aaron Hunt made it 2-1 with Bremens second chance. Franco Di Santo crossed long to the opposite side, Hunt easily faked Jerome Boateng, and slotted inside the far post. Bayerns comeback began in the 54th with a corner from Ribery. Thomas Mueller headed down to the far post, where Pizarro sidefooted the ball in. Three minutes later, Ribery gave a no-look pass to David Alaba, whose short feed found Pizarro unchallenged and the striker slid to knock the ball home. In the 61st, Philipp Lahm crossed from the right and Bastian Schweinsteiger rose to send a powerful header into the roof of the net. Arjen Robben scored in the 74th in his first possession after coming off the bench. Robben cut inside from the right in his trademark move and drove home with his left foot, finding the low corner as Bremen fell to its seventh straight Bundesliga defeat to Bayern. Bayern has already clinched the Bundesliga title and is seeking to become the only club to win the Champions League twice in a row. While its attacking game fell into place after the break, Bayerns defence struggled against the fast break. Bayern has conceded eight goals in its last three Bundesliga matches at home. Lars Bender put Leverkusen ahead with a seventh-minute header after Stefan Kiesslings header bounced off the crossbar. Oliver Kirch headed in the equalizer after Marco Reus cross in the 29th, but Dortmund fell behind again in the 35th with Gonzalo Castros header. Only four minutes later, Reus converted a penalty for the final score. Kiessling, Leverkusens top scorer, limped off the field late with a suspected hamstring injury. cheap nfl jerseys . - Don Mattingly isnt in immediate danger of being fired as manager of the last-place Los Angeles Dodgers, with team president Stan Kasten saying none of the players are asking for his dismissal, either. cheap jerseys from china .

"From there on out, I felt like I had to take over the game." And thats exactly what he did. Five points by Gee made it a two-point game before Irving found a wide-open Jamison in the corner for a three-pointer to give the Cavaliers an 86-85 lead with 5:53 to play. Rodney Stuckeys two free throws gave Detroit the lead back, but Irvings three-pointer from the top of the key and a left-handed layup in the lane put Cleveland ahead 91-87.

He was 6 for 9 and had no turnovers in the final period. "He wasnt assertive in the first three quarters," Cleveland coach Bryon Scott said.

The contest was a bruising affair with players from both teams hitting the floor on several occasions. Gee and Cavaliers centre Semih Erden were both taken to the locker room after sustaining facial injuries in the first quarter, but both returned shortly before halftime. Erden was poked above the right eye by Jamison while the two were going for a rebound and needed four stitches to close the cut.
