HOUSTON -- DeMarcus Cousins let out a load roar moments after hitting a wing jumper over Clint Capela late in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's win over the Rockets.
The basket, which clinched a season-high 27 points, pushed Golden State's lead to 13, but, more importantly, signified the latest step in Cousins' journey with the Warriors.
Since his return more than two months ago from a torn Achilles, Cousins has enjoyed impressive scoring performances, dealt with criticism of his defense and the question of if he'll ever regain his All-Star powers. But with Kevin Durant out with ankle injury, the four-time All-Star provided a positive sign towards his progress and what could be if he's at full strength.
