The Los Angeles Lakers have taken a massive two-game lead in the NBA playoffs. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have performed consistently in the series against the Warriors. The Lakers are now just one win away from knocking the defending champions out of the NBA postseason. Apart from LeBron and AD, one more unexpected Lakers star was in the spotlight for his exceptional offensive showdown recently.

Draymond Green recently spoke on the Lakers’ man-of-the-moment Lonnie Walker IV, who ended up upsetting his girlfriend hours before his legendary showing.

Draymond Green praises Lakers star despite loss

The Golden State Warriors seem to be in trouble at the moment. They are 3-1 down in the series against the Los Angeles Lakers. They now need to win three games in a row to qualify for the Western Conference Finals.

Meanwhile, the performance of the 24-year-old Lonnie Walker caught Draymond Green’s attention. In a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, he said, “You tip your hat to Lonnie Walker. Like I said that’s a guy who’s been in and out of the lineup. Played a lot early on. Didn’t play much, then played a little more then didn’t play at all. He stayed ready, you know you tip your hat to true professionals who stay ready when the numbers called. He did that on the biggest stage.”??

Draymond Green is impressed by Lonnie Walker IV’s performance against them. Even after not getting consistent minutes in the regular season, Walker stepped up when he was given the chance. He scored 15 points in the fourth quarter alone in game 5 against the Warriors. He’s been quite efficient from mid-range and beyond the arc. The Lakers would want Lonnie Walker to be at his best in game 5 as they look to seal the deal in their series against the Warriors.

Lonnie Walker made his girlfriend mad

Lonnie Walker has not been getting consistent playing time in the NBA. Therefore he’d never miss the chance to feature for the Los Angels Lakers in the playoffs. Walker’s been balling out in the limited minutes that he had been getting lately.

Ahead of game 4 Lonnie Walker revealed that he wasn’t able to contain his excitement. He said, “Like a dream. I mean, truthfully speaking, I didn?t go to sleep until like four or five in the morning last night, I could not go to sleep. My girl was pretty pissed off at me. But I was really happy, man.”? The 24-year-old starlet made his girlfriend mad due to his excitement. It’ll be interesting to see how Walker performs in the rest of the NBA playoffs.
