DeMarcus Cousins was to blame for both the Kings surge in the first half, and their falter in the second half, allowing the Los Angeles Lakers to come away with a 10 point victory. Cousins box score numbers are prettier than the game implied, as he finished with 28 points, nine rebounds and four assists, to go along with two steals. The Kentucky big man only got to the foul line eight times, although there was a handful of calls that could have gone his way, the result was they did not and it affected the mood that Cousins was playing with. After some rest after a major scoring drought for both Cousins and the Kings in the third quarter, Boogie came back with some re - found energy, but it was too little too late.
