MANILA, Philippines – Count on Lou Williams to bail his team out.
Williams shrugged off the Brooklyn Nets pesky defense and drained the game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer in the Los Angeles Clippers’ 119-116 win on Sunday, March 17 (Monday, March 18, Philippine time).
The score was knotted at 116-all before Williams, who finished with a team-high 25 points and 6 rebounds, sank a shot over Spencer Dinwiddie from way beyond the three-point line to push the Clippers to victory.
