The Lakers got an incredible win to have a comeback in the last quarter vs. the Warriors after trailing by seven points thanks to Lonnie Walker

The Los Angeles Lakers were having a rough night against the Warriors that had a great Stephen Curry even when he wasn't efficient from 3, as he scored 3-14 from 3PT.

The third quarter ended with Golden State leading by seven points, but Los Angeles was able to open the 4th quarter with a 9-0 run to turn things around with an outstanding Lonnie Walker.

Walker became the savior of the night, and the showtime Lakers era Magic Johnson noticed it and gave him his flowers by reacting in Twitter writing:

"I think I was calling for a guy. Lol, Lonnie Walker stepped up big and did not disappoint! The hardest thing to do is to close a team out like the World Champion Golden State Warriors."

Darvin Ham praised Lonnie Walker and evaded the guilt of not using him before

In the post-game presser, coach Darvin Ham said about Lonnie, "He's a beautiful kid. He fell out of the rotation through no fault of his own... But he remained a trooper, remained professional, high-spirited, and positive, and he really kept working on his game... Kudos to him."
