Anonymous caller inspires Mike Davis

A concerned fan somehow got ahold of his number last week and called to offer words of inspiration. The two chatted. And Davis was so fired up that he went out and had his best game in a month with 16 points on eight-of-14 shooting and 12 rebounds.

"It was an anonymous call," he said. "Someone just called and talked some sense into me and said 'Get back to what you do.' ... This guy called just man-to-man talking and said 'You have so much ability. Don't let it go to waste. Don't let it slip out of your hands.' He's been watching me the last two years and knows how I play."
