There’s no stopping LeBron James when Mo Williams is hitting him with passes like this
The Cleveland Cavaliers started slow on Wednesday night, falling behind the New York Knicks by a score of 24-9 at one point in the first quarter. However, when you have LeBron James and Kevin Love, 15-point deficits that early in the game don’t seem like too big of a deal. Subsequently, the Cavs fought back and had the lead late in the fourth quarter.
As the Cavs were trying to close out the game, it was Mow Williams and LeBron James who helped put the icing on it for Cleveland with about two minutes left in the fourth quarter. Williams was looking for room and drove across the baseline when LeBron made a strong cut into the lane. Williams dished out a beautiful pass to the cutting James through traffic, which LeBron hammered home:

Stopping LeBron James is a near impossible task for any defense, but when he’s getting assists like that from his teammates, there’s not a thing in the world that can be done to stop LeBron and the Cavs.
That dunk from James gave Cleveland an 11-point lead, a lead they all but maintained to earn the 96-86 victory over the Knicks. New York showed a ton of fight in this one, but there’s only so much you can do when one of the most talented basketball players ever is getting set up perfectly by his point guard.
