NBA Twitter reacts to Lonnie Walker IV’s heroic Game 4 performance

The Los Angeles Lakers put a huge win in their column on Sunday when they claimed a 104-101 triumph over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals to take a 3-1 series lead.

They did so the ugly way — by getting key stops down the stretch, pulling down key rebounds and with good old-fashioned hustle and grit. They overcame a 12-point deficit in the third quarter, as well as a foreboding feeling that the Warriors were on their way to victory.

But the one thing that was pretty was Lonnie Walker IV’s game.

After falling out of the team’s rotation a few months ago, he started getting minutes again over the last couple of games, and in Game 4, he was hot in the fourth quarter while showing the guts of a champion. He went 6-of-9 from the field to score 15 points, all coming in the final 12 minutes.

He was the hero of the game, and fans on Twitter were happy for him.
