Why This Game Is Where It Is On The List: In a group of downright amazing performances from DeMarcus Cousins, this one stood out to me the most. Did he end up with more shot attempts than points and have a few too many turnovers? Yes.
But he also managed a near-quadruple-double, with 24 points, 21 rebounds, ten assists, six blocks and three steals. Boogie was also close to an elusive 5-5-5-5-5 game, which is rarer than you’d think. Despite the Kings falling to the Rockets, Boogie was as good as I’ve ever seen him, and I think this was the best he’s played since joining the NBA.
