While the performance itself was worthy of all the celebrations, a big part of what made Game IV so enjoyable was how easy it is to root for Lonnie Walker. Aside from being one of the bright spots from a miserable start to the season, Walker is someone whose humble and kind personality lends to him to being a fan favorite.
So, when it was Walker that stepped up in the biggest game of the season to date, it was a feel-good moment not just for the fans but the players as well. After the game, Walker’s teammates swarmed him to offer congratulations and join in on the celebrations.
