Pelicans' DeMarcus Cousins says Rockets' Ryan Anderson guilty of flopping

HOUSTON -- Physical play in the paint as Ryan Anderson attempted to defend DeMarcus Cousins in the fourth quarter of the Houston Rockets' 117-107 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans led to two official video reviews, two common fouls and terse words afterward from both opposing forwards. "Flop, review, flop, review, flop, review," Cousins said, in summation. Anderson was called for a foul with 3:16 to play while trying to deny Cousins position in the post. As Cousins rose to attempt a shot close to the basket, his left elbow caught Anderson in the chin.
