DeMarcus Cousins highly complimentary of Andre Drummond after big game

CONTROVERSY! (Not really.)

DeMarcus Cousins destroyed the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, the same day reports started flying that he cussed out his coach in a "profanity-laced tirade" in the locker room. Cousins followed up the classic Cousins CONTROVERSY with a monster game to down Andre Drummond and the Pistons.

New to his repertoire, Cousins hit four three-pointers in the first half, three of them while matched up against Drummond, who dared Cousins to shoot. Cousins had all of 15 three-point makes in six years at a 18-percent clip, and while it is well known that he's worked on that part of his game, he was still only 29 percent this year, so it wasn't a total brainless strategy to make the big man beat him beyond the arc.
