DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins lumbered into the Washington Wizards’ locker room at 10:40 p.m. Monday wearing a caution-yellow jacket and black knit cap. He had just scored 36 points and pulled in 20 rebounds. Cousins made it through the game without a technical foul or other misguided incident, which, added to the stat line, made this a personal win and a night of rare peace in the Sacramento Kings center’s often tumultuous world.
Cousins made his way into the trainer’s room where John Wall was receiving treatment for the ache that followed from banging knees with an opponent early in the game.
