Why This Game Is Where It Is On The List: Double-doubles are nice, but triple-doubles are even better. This game is pretty hard evidence that when surrounded with offensive weapons, Boogie can distribute the ball as well as any big man in the association.
24 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists weren’t enough to beat the Pelicans (who make two appearances on this list just a week apart), but it was enough to be remembered as one of the three best games DeMarcus Cousins has ever played. This list is honestly making me really, really excited for 2016. Boogie’s future should be even brighter than his past, as hard as it can be to believe.
