DeMarcus Cousins was back in Sacramento to play his old team and he was ready to make a statement in his new uniform. Boogie got a good reception by the Kings fans, but they were left with the loss when it was all said and done. And remember, this is a team that was without Anthony Davis, who is nursing an injured knee.
Up until the fourth quarter, it looked like the New Orleans Pelicans might actually lose to the Kings, but Cousins willed the team back into the game and got the W on the night. From 3-pointers to going straight at the hoop or hitting mid-range jumpers; DeMarcus was doing it all.
You know he was ready to give his previous organization a big ‘fuck you’ on the court for the way they traded him away to another team.
Boogie finished the game with 41 points and a monster 23 rebounds.
FINAL: NO 114 | SAC 106
