With just over 6 minutes left in the ball game, Cousins had the ball at the top of the key. With a hustling Gorgui Dieng about to close in on him, he then makes a spin move towards the basket causing three Timberwolves players to swarm at him. Cousins, with his high IQ, then dished the ball to Kosta Koufos, who was standing by himself next to the rim resulting in a two-handed slam. Just another play that proves that Cousins is a top-tier talent in the NBA.
