DeMarcus Cousins wasn’t as dominant as people expected him to be at the Olympics, but he did save his best performance for last in the Gold Medal game.
Yesterday Team USA won the Olympic championship game against Serbia in comfortable fashion by a score of 96-66.

The main reason why the red, white, and blue were able to blowout yesterday’s contest was because of the performances of Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins.
Durant finished the game with a whopping 30 points while Cousins finished the game recording 13 points and 15 rebounds.
Team USA fans noticed the work that Cousins put in yesterday, and as a result posted their opinions/analyses of #12 on social media.
With that being said, here are some of the reactions that the A Royal Pain team gathered up pertaining to Boogie’s performance in the Gold Medal game.

I need the Kings to trade DeMarcus Cousins. Dude is phenomenal. Such a good passer in the post. Excellent scorer, obviously.

DeMarcus Cousins is snatching up literally every rebound. Almost a double-double in the first half.
