VIDEO: Lou Williams throws the hammer down on Robert Sacre

Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports

There's a little more pressure on Lou Williams now that DeMar DeRozan is on the shelf for the Toronto Raptors. He doesn't seem to mind.

Coming off the bench once again on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers - Greivis Vasquez drew the start in DeRozan's place - Williams was up to his usual high-scoring ways off the bench. It's been established that he now takes the last shot of each quarter if he's on the floor, but that doesn't mean the Lakers were ready in Sunday's third quarter.

With time ticking away, Williams declined to use a screen, blew past Ronnie Price and then absolutely crowned Robert Sacre. It was nasty.

The dunk was also notable for being the first time all season anyone has noticed Sacre.
