To say Lonnie Walker IV “stayed ready” is a total understatement. After putting up 12 points in Game 3, he followed it up with a quarter for the ages in Game 4: scored ALL 15 of his points in the 4th to boost LAL to a commanding, 3-1 lead against the Golden State Warriors.

Rui Hachimura’s made a big difference off LAL’s bench since arriving in January.
