Mo Williams buzzer-beater lifts Cavaliers over Bucks on Wednesday night.The Cavaliers gained an 83-81 win against Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night at Quicken Loans Arena thanks to Mo Williams, Anthony Parker and Daniel Gibson as they combined for 51 of the team's 83 points.
"Both teams were struggling come into the game and it was about survival," Williams said. "I got to be the guy that makes plays and I accept that role.
"We need that one guy (to take the final shot) and I have to set the tone."
The Cavaliers did not have any other player in double-digits. Matter of fact, they did not have another player have more than six points.
"Defensively we got after them for 48 minutes," Scott said. "Mo I thought was fantastic. Defensively, offensively I thought he did a heck of a job. He really took the challenge."
Williams lead all scorers with 25 points and showed that his thumb that he injured on Saturday night was not a factor. He hit 11-of-22 from the floor including two from long range and the game-winner.
"I just kept attacking and things opened up," Williams said.
It has been a strange season thus far for Williams as he has battled injuries and his own mind. Scott got exactly what he wanted from one of his leaders.
Anthony Parker had arguably his best game of the season as he not only played tremendous defense but added 14 points on 5-10 shooting. For parker, this was his season-high for points.
"He played extremely well," Scott said. "He played well on offense and extremely well on defense with a tough assignment in (Corey) Maggette. AP took the challenge as well."
The one constant for the Cavaliers all season has been the play of Daniel Gibson as he stepped up. He scored 12 points and was the spark off the bench.
All three guards made a statement by coming to play and ending the team's losing woes. Before the game, Scott talked about his starters stepping up and Parker and Williams answered the bell.
We have been on a little skid of late, (this game) stops that for us in a big way," Gibson said. "(Coach Scott) challenged us and he challenges us everyday. Everybody came through in their own way."
This may not have been the perfect game that Scott was looking for but in the NBA a win is a win and that is all that matters.
