DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis have frequently drawn fouls this season. A lot of fouls. In fact, Cousins and Davis currently rank first and third respectively in total fouls drawn.
Now, most of these fouls result in the ball either being inbounded by the Pelicans or free throw opportunities. However, on occasion, Davis and Cousins manage to snag three points the “old fashion way” with an and-one basket.
The and-one play is often one that can swing momentum in a game. Scoring two points (hopefully three) whilst getting the foul fires up players as well as their teammates, often leading to their team going on a run.
