Lakers News: Fans Weigh In On Lonnie Walker’s Great Night

It was the Lonnie Walker IV show, and fans loved it

The Los Angeles Lakers hold a commanding 3-1 series lead against the defending champion Golden State Warriors. Game four was crucial for both sides, and the Lakers were fortunate enough to come out on top, and that's all thanks to their 24-year-old guard Lonnie Walker IV. 

Walker IV had the game of his life in Game Four of the Western Conference semi-final round. He had Crypto.com Arena buzzing last night and the whole Twitter universe as well. Here is what the fans and media had to say about his fourth-quarter takeover.

Lonnie played 27 minutes and scored all his 15 points in the fourth quarter, almost outscoring the Warriors as a team in the last quarter. After a handful of DNPs in the regular season and playoffs, he was given an opportunity and took control of it. 

His teammates loved what they saw as well, as they took to social media to give their flowers to Walker IV.

Game Four belonged to the IV, and now LA must move forward and close out the defending champions. The job isn't done, but boy was that fun for all of us.
