On #4 I think you mean Trimble walked not Davis? As soon as he caught the inbounds pass he walked. He didn't catch it cleanly so he took 2 steps to make sure he had control, then he took a 3rd step to go hand the ball off to Davis. Then as he handed it off he turned his body to screen Kobe, who literally fell over him. And none of that drew a whistle, not the walk, not the moving screen, not the foul on Kobe falling over teh guy.
Then Davis drives does the Bryce Alford shoulder lower and flail and goes to the line to win the game.
I personally would much rather have had them call the foul on Kobe and Trimble at the line than Davis, plus more time to get a last shot and maybe a putback
