178; that's how many points separated Raptors guard Lou Williams and Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas for 6th Man of the Year.
Unfortunately for Thomas, that 178 point difference did not swing in his direction. Williams received 78 first place votes while Thomas earned only 33.
Thomas told ESPNBoston.com,
"I can’t say too much about it. All I’m going to say is numbers don’t lie. But congrats to him. He deserves it."
So lets look at the numbers shall we.
Thomas finished in the top four in the NBA in fourth quarter points with 404.
