5' 9" Isaiah Thomas comes up short in NBA Sixth Man Award voting


The numbers are in and Lou Williams is your 2014-2015 Kia NBA Sixth Man Award recipient.

NBA.com reports that the numbers were not very close, with Isaiah collecting 324 total points to 502 for Williams. Two time award winner Jamal Crawford was third with 131 points.

Williams also enjoyed the benefit of 78 first place votes to 33 by Thomas and 8 by Crawford.

Interesting to see whether missing this honor will be another motivator for the Celtics' diminutive guard, who has been fighting great odds his whole life. Boston could certainly use a monster game from their spark plug in the second game of their first round series with Cleveland on Tuesday night.
