NBA playoffs: Lonnie Walker, Lakers fend off Stephen Curry to take 3-1 series lead over Warriors

Stephen Curry did everything he could on Monday night in Los Angeles.

But in the end it was Lonnie Walker — yes, Lonnie Walker — that pushed the Lakers to just a game away from reaching the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers fended off Curry and the Golden State Warriors 104-101 in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinals series on Monday night. Walker, after sparking a huge run to bring the Lakers back into it in the fourth quarter, dropped all of his 15 points in the final period of the three-point win.
