There's the commitment — Anthony Davis washing top-of-the-key jumpers, corralling each bounce back and upsetting restricting offenses all around.
But there's also the problem — Davis gracelessly getting his left arm tangled around Devin Booker's head and stirring things up around town, requiring a break to advance back to his feet and to the Lakers' seat.
Tuesday night in Phoenix, Davis had the option to remain in the game, getting at his left elbow and over and again attempting to fit feeling into his left hand.
