GIF: Kyrie Irving forces overtime with unbelievable layup

Kyrie Irving nearly made Quicken Loans Arena explode on Sunday night.

Trailing by two with the shot clock off, the Cleveland Cavaliers guard drove the length of the floor and got tangled with terribly-balding Memphis Grizzlies guard Nick Calathes. As Irving began his fall, he threw a wild layup attempt at the rim.

Basket. Tie game.

Of course, Irving would miss the And-1 free throw, grab his own rebound and then step out of bounds. So it wasn't the most clutch sequence ever, but it was still pretty impressive.
