Guard Austin Reaves had been struggling in the Lakers' playoff series against the Warriors, but coach Darvin Ham knew he'd make it through rough times.
Lonnie Walker IV scores 15 fourth-quarter points to help the Lakers defeat Golden State in Game 4 and move within one win of conference finals.
He had 10 points in the third, making three of five shots, including two of three three-pointers, while playing all 12 minutes.“It’s his first time, his first time through [the playoffs] and he’s doing a great job battling through the ups and downs, trying to stay aggressive, stay focused, stay locked in, not getting down on himself,” Lakers coachsaid. “...Austin, I expect him to be fearless as always and he was. There was some not-so-good moments, but him being a trooper.
He was tormented by shooting 32.1% from the field, 28.5% from three-point range while having scored just 27 total points in the series. Reaves sat at his locker with ice bags on both knees and towels wrapped around his body. He had just finished chasing around Warriors guards Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole during his 34 minutes and 8 seconds of playing time.Reaves was asked to honestly answer how was he feeling physically?“I’m an honest man,” Reaves said, laughing. “I feel good today. I feel a little better than I have in the first three games. But, hey, this is part of it.
