Luke Walton experienced a feeling of pleasure on Wednesday thanks to some World Series karma.
After Walton’s Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night, the first-year Lakers head coach was talking with the media when he saw Game 7 of the World Series on TV. After seeing the score, he commented on the possibility of Cleveland’s baseball team blowing a 3-1 lead in the World Series.
Lakers coach Luke Walton looked at a TV just now, saw the World Series score, laughed & said with a huge grin, "How's that feel, Cleveland?"

Walton, of course, was an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors last season when they blew a 3-1 NBA Finals lead to the Cavaliers. People still remind the Warriors about choking in the Finals, including LeBron James, who did so with his Halloween party decorations.
It’s hard to blame Walton for taking a little pleasure in seeing the same thing happen to Cleveland’s baseball team.
