This Day In Lakers History: Lonnie Walker IV Comes Up Big In Game 4 Victory Over Warriors

During the 2022-23 season, perhaps no member of the Los Angeles Lakers' early season rotation was as affected by the moves made at the trade deadline than Lonnie Walker IV. An early-season staple, Walker had fallen out of Darvin Ham's rotation down the stretch of the season and into the playoffs. The Lakers would a commanding 3-1 lead over the defending champion Warriors and wound up winning the series in six games. In Game 4, it was an intense back-and-forth contest with the Warriors doing everything possible to steal a game on the road.
