Why This Game Is Where It Is On The List: Despite my earlier claim that this is not a scoring list, Boogie’s career-high points game had to make an appearance somewhere on this list. In just his second season in the NBA, Cousins managed to score 41 points on 25 shots, shooting a ridiculous 64 percent from the field. Although I would be willing to bet this wont remain Boogie’s career-best scoring night for too long, it’s still impressive nonetheless.
He also totaled 12 rebounds in the game, which is easy to overlook considering the scoring output but also a really solid number. Can we make sure the Kings play on April 3rd every year from now on?
