Kings earn first win without Cousins

The Kings were without their star DeMarcus Cousins Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. They would need an exceptional effort from Rudy Gay in his absence and the forward would respond the call, leading the team to a 129-118 win.

Neither team has been impressive on the defensive end thus far this season, and the game would prove to be an offensive shootout.

Gay scored 22 points in the first half alone en route to a 36-point night.

“You go out there and desperately need a win so I had to do whatever I could to get it,” Gay told the Associated Press.
