LOS ANGELES – Within a three-minute span, DeMarcus Cousins showed three things. He demonstrated his power. He displayed some rust. And he remained upset with the officiating.
The Warriors’ 112-94 victory over the Clippers on Friday had mostly to do with Stephen Curry (28 points), Kevin Durant (24) and Klay Thompson (12) fulfilling their usual job descriptions along with stellar defense (the Clippers shot 36.5 percent from the field and 16 percent from 3).
Everything centered, though, on Cousins’ debut with the Warriors after spending nearly the past year rehabbing his left Achilles tendon. Cousins’ opening act?
