It was the best game of DeMarcus Cousins’ career in three years.
On Jan. 23, the Houston Rockets recorded a 133-108 victory over the Dallas Mavericks inside American Airlines Arena. Leading the way for the Rockets was Cousins, who started in place of the injured Christian Wood. He ended the night with 28 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3PT) and 17 rebounds — Cousins’ first 20-and-15 game since April of 2019.
Both the fans and media members gushed over Cousins’ performance. And by the time the Rockets departed from Dallas, Cousins’ play left many yearning to see him share the court at the same time with a healthy Wood.
