Why This Game Is Where It Is On The List: Huge double-doubles are kind of a DeMarcus Cousins staple, and this was a great example of a classic big game from big Boogie. 36 points and 22 rebounds is a good example of being a game-changer, something that Cousins obviously is.
This game might have been a little bit better than the next one on this list statistically for Boogie, but his unnecessary technical foul at the end of the game that would cost the Kings franchise player his first game of the next season knocked it down a ranking. It’s hard to blame Boogie too much though–losing must be frustrating, and even these great games from Cousins weren’t enough to get Sacramento the win most of the time.
