So there was a championship contender playing tonight in Sacramento. That team is not the Sacramento Kings. The Cleveland Cavaliers flexed their muscle, building a huge early lead, and lazily coasted their way to victory.
DeMarcus Cousins led the Kings with a marvelous game, scoring 26 points on 16 shots alongside 11 assists and 8 rebounds. Cousins manned both the high and low post, picking out shooters and cutters all over the court when the double team came. Rudy Gay and Ty Lawson came alive in the second half to boost the Kings, scoring 23 and 17 points respectively.
