DeMarcus Cousins' struggles in Tuesday's game against the Rockets were, in general terms, uncharacteristic of the All-Star center. However, when looking at Cousins' history following a huge performance, it ends up not being too out of character. Cousins followed up Monday's monster 46 - point, 15 - rebound performance with a bit of a dud, as he shot just 5 - of - 16 (31 percent) from the field en route to scoring just 16 points. Going back as far as last season, in his last five games where he scored at least 40 points, Cousins followed up with a poor shooting performance the next game. Cousins never shot over 38 percent from the field in any of those five followups and shot as low as 19 percent in one of the outings. Overall, in those five games coming off a 40 - point performance, Cousins shot just 30 - of - 98 (31 percent) from the field.
