There were plenty of positives to take away from the Spurs crunch time loss to the Bulls — outside of their signature fourth quarter collapse, of course — and perhaps the biggest one was the resurgent play of Lonnie Walker. After three games of averaging just three points in 17 minutes (plus missing one game in between with a sore knee), Walker has risen back up for the last two games, including a 21-point night off the bench on an efficient 9-17 shooting, 2-4 from three in Chicago.
He played the way everyone wants to see every night: aggressive, unafraid, attacking the rim and letting his outside game come to him instead of forcing it.
