Lou Williams is aiming to win his second-straight Sixth Man of the Year Award and third overall. He hit the game-winning 3-pointer for the Clips against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday at Staples Center.
Win the win, L.A. improved to 41-30 on the season, which is good for eighth place in the Western Conference standings.
Williams averaged 22.6 points per game last season. After the Clippers traded Tobias Harris to the Philadelphia 76ers at this year's trade deadline, Sweet Lou has been the go-to man in Los Angeles.
Williams is shooting 42.7 percent from the field, 35.8 percent beyond the arc, and 88.2 percent from the free throw line this season. He has two games of 40-plus points and scored at least 20 points 33 times.
After bouncing from team to team, Williams has found a home with the Clippers. He signed a three-year extension with the franchise in February of 2018 worth $24 million.
