Los Angeles (AFP) - The Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder clinched NBA playoff berths as reigning champions Golden State continued to roll toward the post-season with a win at Dallas.

In Orlando, Kyrie Irving scored 26 points and added five assists to lead the Cavaliers to a 109-103 victory over the Magic.

Irving, who had 33 points Wednesday in a victory over Dallas, scored 10 points in the decisive fourth quarter as the Cavs overcame a big night from Magic guard Victor Oladipo.

Oladipo scored a career-high 45 points, but only six in the fourth period.
