The entire NBA is talking about Lonnie Walker IV and his heroics in Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors. As the Los Angeles Lakers played at home, they went in with a 2-1 series lead. Looking to further extend it, the Lakers made a formidable comeback in the fourth quarter. The key factor in the Los Angeles win was Walker’s phenomenal 15-point eruption in the fourth quarter.
Lonnie Walker IV was first drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2018 NBA Draft as the 18th overall pick. He made his debut later that season on January 03, 2019, against the Toronto Raptors. Walker didn’t play a long stretch of minutes in the game as a rookie. However, he managed to score three points in the five minutes of his floor time. Walker went on to score his career-high of 28 points against the Houston Rockets on December 03, 2019. He also added four rebounds, three steals, and a block to his stat line, contributing to an impressive win
