METAIRIE, La. -- DeMarcus Cousins said he wasn't upset with sitting out most of the fourth quarter and the entire overtime period in the New Orleans Pelicans' 125-122 victory Saturday in Charlotte.
"The team was in a good rhythm," Cousins said Monday. "They were playing a good stretch of basketball. I wasn't mad at all. We pulled out a good win. I'm not mad at all."
Though Cousins, 26, said he hasn't sat out during crunch time since maybe he was a rookie, six seasons ago, he said he didn't discuss the matter with Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry afterward.
