MINNEAPOLIS — Anthony Davis writhed in pain in the paint across from his team’s bench, everything feeling like it was about to fall apart again in Minnesota.
A season ago, Davis suffered a knee injury here that helped submarine the team’s season. Friday, it was his left ankle that twisted, the Lakers' recent momentum strained.
Yet after he stood up and fell back to the court, Davis got up again. He limped off the court on his own, pushed up and down on his foot and told a teammate that he was all right.
