"In a far cry from his 20-point Game 1 eruption, Mo Williams never emerged as a threat as the Celtics won Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series last night, 104-86.

The Cleveland Cavaliers point guard, such an important complement to LeBron James, finished with four points on 1-for-9 shooting, including 0-for-4 from where he is the biggest threat - downtown.

"They did a great job of shrinking the floor and taking my point guard out of it," James said. "We didn't screen the ball as great as we did (in Game 1), to allow Mo to come off his man.

"We have to find a way to get Mo free."

C's captain Paul Pierce discussed his team's defensive focus.

"All the focus is always going to be on LeBron when you come in here," Pierce said. "He's what makes them go. You know what he's going to do. When you don't focus on these other guys, that's when they tear you apart, like Mo Williams, like J.J. Hickson, Shaquille O'Neal, Delonte West, those are the guys that can really hurt you."
