The Los Angeles Lakers have taken a 3-1 series lead after beating the Golden State Warriors 104-101 with a key performance by Lonnie Walker in Game 4.
Stephen Curry had a dominant triple-double with 31 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds. However, the Lakers outscored them 27-17 in the last 12 minutes. LeBron James scored 27 points and added nine rebounds and six assists but the star of the night was Walker with a 15-point fourth quarter and as expected, NBA Twitter reacted to it.

“He’s the best defensive player in the league. I think the league knows it as well.”

LeBron James, who famously is “afraid of the free throw line”, despite being in the league for 20 years and no one being able to point to a SINGLE playoff game he’s lost because he missed late free throws, was 4-4 from the line in the final 3 minutes, including the winning points
