Lou Williams: All-time bench honor 'special to me'

LOS ANGELES -- When Lou Williams started his pro career in 2005 coming off the bench in Philadelphia, he felt some "resentment" and a burning desire to prove people wrong about his reserve role.

Thirteen seasons later, Williams is not only the reigning Sixth Man of the Year but now he has scored more points off the bench than anyone else in NBA history. On Monday, the Clippers' supersub passed Dell Curry for most career points scored by a reserve with 9:54 remaining in the fourth quarter of a 140-115 blowout win over the Boston Celtics.
