DeMarcus Cousins gets standing ovation, scores 41 in Sacramento return

New Orleans Pelicans forward DeMarcus Cousins probably couldn't have written a better script for his return to Sacramento on Thursday night. Cousins had a memorable all-around game, going off for 41 points, 23 rebounds and 6 assists and nailing three 3-pointers during a 114-106 comeback triumph in his first game in Sacramento since being traded in February. The Kings traded Cousins to the Pelicans during the 2017 NBA All-Star Game after he played six-and-a-half seasons for the franchise.
