DeMarcus Cousins is no stranger to technical fouls. He’s a collector, a connoisseur if you will. But he didn’t deserve the “T” he got Monday night as his Warriors were putting away the pesky Charlotte Hornets with less than five minutes to play.
Charlotte was on offense. One of the Hornets, Jeremy Lamb, came out of his left shoe, which came to rest at the free throw line. Ten great big basketball players were in the area. At least one, Cousins, was fresh off a torn Achilles. In the interest of safety, Cousins picked up Lamb’s shoe and flipped it to the sideline.
