The only thing better than setting a career-high point total? Doing so on an and-1 alley-oop in overtime when your team needs a bucket most, of course.
That’s what DeMarcus Cousins did when he caught this pin-point lob from Rajon Rondo and flushed it over Marvin Williams with aplomb to get his 48th and 49th points against the Charlotte Hornets. He drained the ensuing free throw moments later, notching the first 50-point game of his career in the process.
Can someone say All-Star? The Kings and Hornets, by the way, continue to butt heads in a second overtime.
