Key Moment

Goodness gracious. Is it possible to choose one Key Moment from Wednesday night?

The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers threw haymaker after haymaker at each other during the fourth quarter of this heavyweight battle. Boston just happened to throw the knockout punch.

The knockout came from, of all places, the free-throw line. Isaiah Thomas beat his defender, newly-acquired Deron Williams, off the dribble and took the ball into the paint with Williams trailing him from behind. Thomas, who has been as savvy a scorer as the league has seen this season, played the following seconds perfectly.
