Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams won the 2017-18 NBA Sixth Man of the Year award Monday night. It's Williams' second time taking home the honor.

Williams was given the nod over fellow nominees Eric Gordon of the Houston Rockets and Fred Van Vleet of the Toronto Raptors.

Williams was a star off the bench in La La Land for the Clippers this season, leading the team in scoring with 22.6 points per game. He also shot just under 36 percent from downtown, as well as 88 percent at the free-throw line.

The 31-year-old parlayed this year's success into a three-year, $24-million extension with the Clippers.
