"Based on past experience, it would seem the Cavaliers would have a better chance hoping for help from the wings of angels as the wings of Mo Williams.

It is said that players raise their games in the playoffs. Williams raised his vertical. Shaquille O'Neal lowered his 40 time. LeBron James increased his pain management.

To say the Cavs played unconventionally in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals is an understatement, as those three aforementioned facts suggest. The details were just as stunning but all that really mattered was the Cavs used a huge second half to strike the first blow and beat the Boston Celtics, 101-93, to take a 1-0 series lead behind 35 points from James.

It looked to be headed the other direction for most of the night as the Cavs were knocked out of sync by the confident and aggressive veteran Celtics. Boston led by 11 points at the half and were firmly in control halfway through the third quarter.

Then Williams made his move. Make that, his jump."
