Lonnie Walker IV’s epic fourth quarter performance in Game 4 against the Warriors on Monday night has put the Lakers on the cusp of the Western Conference finals.
Los Angeles is now up 3–1 in its series against the defending NBA champions thanks to Walker’s heroics in Game 4. Walker, who had been largely out of the playoff rotation, was called upon by coach Darvin Ham to give the Lakers a boost off the bench. Walker rewarded the decision by scoring all 15 of his points in the fourth quarter, becoming the first Lakers player to accomplish that feat in a playoff game since Kobe Bryant 26 years ago.
Walker reacted to his epic performance on Twitter after the game.
