MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Adam Gases shirt remained dry following his first victory as a head coach because he was hot under the collar.The Miami Dolphins coach was in no mood to celebrate after his team eked out an unsightly 30-24 win Sunday against the woebegone Cleveland Browns. When Jay Ajayi scored the winning touchdown on an 11-yard run with 8:26 left in overtime, Gases players knew better than to give their new coach a celebratory sports drink bath.We come out here in our first game at home to showcase to our own fans what were all about, and offensively were out there flopping around, said Gase, who called the plays. It irritated me a little bit. It still does.The game was the only one in the NFL between 0-2 teams, and looked it. The Dolphins won because Browns kicker Cody Parkey -- signed Saturday as an injury replacement -- missed three field goal attempts, including a 46-yarder on the final play of regulation.Its a terrible way to win, Miami defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said. But well take it for sure.Here are things to know as both teams try to rebound from a ragged afternoon:SPUTTERING DOLPHINSThe game marked the regular-season unveiling of the Dolphins renovated stadium and drew a sellout crowd of 65,176. But the home teams performance had fans fleeing in the fourth quarter.Were too up and down on offense, Gase said. Im going to get that fixed fast.Hell have to hustle -- Miami plays again Thursday at Cincinnati (1-2).We have our hands full, quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. Were three games in -- too far in to have the kind of mistakes were having.Tannehill threw for 319 yards and three scores, but none of Miamis four running backs was able to spark a ground game that has been awful so far this year. Gase also benched right tackle JaWuan James in the fourth quarter.Tannehill is the leading rusher for the season with 54 yards.JACKSONS DECISIONBrowns first-year coach Hue Jackson won the toss to start overtime and decided to kick off, a decision his counterpart understood.The way we were playing offensively, it was probably a good idea, Gase said.Miami players were miffed, however.Very disrespectful, receiver Jarvis Landry said.It was dumb, defensive end Jason Jones said. You always take the ball. They made their decision, and we won.The decision looked wise when the Dolphins were quickly forced to punt. But Cleveland backpedaled to a fourth-and-24 before punting, giving the Dolphins a short field that led to the winning score.Jackson said he made the coin-toss decision after some consideration.I thought our defense was playing hot, Jackson said. I thought it was the right strategy. We just got pinned back there.NEWCOMER MISFIRESParkey signed after kicker Patrick Murray hurt his knee in a walkthrough Friday, and the Browns newcomer arrived in Miami without taking a single kick with the team.He went 3 for 6 on field goals, with all of his misses to the left, including one off the upright. His misfire at the end of regulation spoiled Clevelands bid to overcome an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit.Its my first time kicking with the snap and holder here, Parkey said. Its not an excuse. I have to make every kick regardless.PRYORS PERFORMANCETerrelle Pryor did everything but kick field goals, and maybe he should have done that too.Pryor threw five passes in spot duty at quarterback, caught eight passes, ran for a 3-yard touchdown, and even played safety on the final play of the first half.Thats what I expect from Terrelle, Jackson said.Since the AFL-NFL merger, no player had as many throws, rushes and catches in the same game.Hes a dynamic athlete, Suh said. Whether hes playing quarterback or wide receiver, hes obviously effective.Cody Kessler , the Browns third starting QB this season, went 21 for 33 passes for 244 yards.INJURIESThe Dolphins have a long injury list with little time to heal.Tight end Jordan Cameron, who has a history of concussions, was evaluated for one in the second quarter and didnt return. Center Anthony Steen (ankle) departed in the fourth quarter, forcing third-stringer Kraig Urbik into the game.Linebacker Koa Misi (neck) and Jelani Jenkins (thigh) were also sidelined.Cornerback Tramon Williams (shoulder) was hurt in the fourth quarter, who play Sunday at Washington (1-2).---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

NEW YORK -- Kristaps Porzingis came to the NBA from Europe as a 7-footer with 3-point range, so the comparisons to Dirk Nowitzki were inevitable.Jeff Hornacek figured the best way for Porzingis to play like Nowitzki was to play with Nowitzki.So the New York Knicks coach called Dallas coach Rick Carlisle in the offseason and asked if his veteran star would be open to working out with the second-year forward.Turns out, fraternizing with the enemy isnt only allowed, but some coaches even broker it.Most coaches, they want all the players in the league to do well, Hornacek said, and so when you have a young player like that, if you have a veteran on your team and somebody calls you up and says, `Hey, will this guy have him in his workouts, a lot of these guys get together anyway so its not that big a deal.Hornacek arranged similar tutoring when he was in Phoenix, getting big man Alex Len to work with the Spurs Tim Duncan. Carlisle wouldnt say if he ever made a request, but didnt think it was uncommon.Hey, things like this, theyre great stories in our game and its one of the reasons we have such a great game and the NBA is a family, Carlisle said.Nowitzki and Porzingis couldnt find time in their schedules, but may in the future. Perhaps Hornacek will even call again.Guys, especially the veteran guys, they like taking young guys kind of under their wing, showing them some tricks and hopefully maybe someday we can get Dirk to work with KP, Hornacek said.---HOWARD AND THE HAWKSAtlanta brought Dwight Howard in and let Al Horford leave, and traded Jeff Teague so Dennis Schroder could start.Most of the offseason focus was on how the Hawks changed, but for coach Mike Budenholzer, its more about how they stayed the same.The remainder of the roster is largely unchanged from the one that won a franchise-record 60 games two years ago and produced 108 victories over the last two seasons. So even after changing the point guard and center, perhaps the two most important positions on the floor, the Hawks are off to a 9-4 start thaat includes the only victory by a road team over NBA champion Cleveland.ddddddddddddI think the thing weve been talking about since the first day of camp is we brought back 10 or 11 guys, too, so I think its been a great balance of continuity with some significant change, Budenholzer said.And when you have 10 or 11 guys that have played together for a couple of years and had some success, and understand what we want to do and whats important to us, I think you can integrate some changes, including a point guard and Dwight. Maybe it just made it a little more possible for us to hopefully do it, I guess, with the results were having so far.---The NBA season reaches the one-month mark this week. A look at some things to watch:ROLLING INTO THE WEEK: Golden State (seven straight wins) and San Antonio (five in a row) ride long winning streaks into the week but are still looking up in the West at the Los Angeles Clippers, who have the NBAs best record at 12-2.HIGH SCORERS IN HOUSTON: DeMar DeRozan and James Harden, two of the NBAs top scorers and the reigning Eastern and Western Conference players of the week, go head-to-head Wednesday in Houston.LUKES LAKERS: The Warriors will try to avenge a loss to their former assistant coach when they visit Los Angeles on Friday.
