But Monday night’s gut-wrenching defeat spoiled what otherwise was a successful return (Anthony) Davis, who came back Monday after missing two games with a bone bruise. Davis scored 17 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and had four blocks.

“We’re a defensive team and we can’t allow ourselves to fall back like that, especially when we had the game in our hands and momentum going our way,’’ Davis said. “We have to guard the ball and not over help. We over help a lot.’’
