Thanks in large part to an outstanding scoring performance from Lou Williams, the L.A. Clippers walked away from Monday night's game against the Celtics with an impressive 140-115 victory. In recognition of his big night, Montrezl Harrell decided to honor his teammate with a line from Drake during post-game interviews.

Williams, a two-time Sixth Man of the Year, has established himself as one of the best role players in NBA history. Monday night was no different. In 23 minutes off the bench, the 32-year-old led his team in scoring, racking up 34 points on 14-of-20 shooting form the field (2-of-6 from beyond the arc), five assists and four rebounds.

With just under 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Williams passed Dell Curry for the most career points scored by a reserve in NBA history. And in Friday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, he became the first reserve to record 40 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals.

“Anytime you can say to have ‘of all-time' next to your name, no matter what it is, it's special,” Williams said of becoming the the NBA's most prolific scorer off the bench. “With being a sixth man and being a career bench player, to have an opportunity to be something that says ever at the end of it is special to me.”

Following Monday night's game, Williams spoke to several reporters that were gathered in the Clippers' locker room. As he began to describe the love he has for being a sixth man, Harrell playfully interrupted the conversation with a line from Drake's ‘6 Man.'

The Clippers, who are currently holding the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference standings, have won five straight. They'll look to keep their momentum rolling on Tuesday night, when they'll serve as hosts to the Portland Trail Blazers.
