Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins missed 14 straight playoff games with a quad injury before returning for Game 1 of the NBA Finals versus the Toronto Raptors.
He only saw eight minutes of court time in the 118-109 loss to the Raps on Thursday, but he excelled in Game 2 with 11 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in the Dubs' 109-104 victory Sunday. Cousins got the starting nod and played 28 minutes.
After the game, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry detailed Cousins' positive impact on both ends:
