DeMarcus Cousins had 28 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and zero turnovers in Saturday's loss -- he made 11-of-18 FGs and 6-of-8 FTs.
The Kings finished their roadtrip 2-2, a tolerable outcome considering the absence of Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton, and the turmoil that surrounded them before they left Sacramento. More importantly, Cousins caught fire during the trip and is suddenly returning the first-round value we've been waiting for all season.
