Tonight's game against the Hornets looked like a great opportunity to bounce back with a much needed win. Unfortunately around 3:30 this afternoon Twitter was lighting up with the news that DeMarcus Cousins had told Coach Westphal he wanted to be traded and was told to stay home... stay tuned to see how this all plays out.
So with all the drama it was great to see the Kings come out with a little fire and play strong for most of the game. The bench and a rejuvenated defense paid huge dividends as the Kings steadily built a lead towards the end of the first half. Both Marcus Thornton and Tyreke had strong games and Tyreke was a force on defense as well. Not to go unnoticed was the much improved free throw shooting. 84% was much better than any of the 4 previous games and the result was a 96-80 victory that made everyone feel a little better before they hit the road for a quick road trip.
I felt so good I decided to get a custom blaylockboyz jersey after the game... Or maybe it's insurance against anyone demanding to be traded since I have 3 different Cousins jerseys...
