Cousins And-1 Slam: With the Kings trailing 31-21 with two minutes left in the first quarter, the purple and white needed a bucket to turn around the momentum. Fortunately for Sacramento they had DeMarcus Cousins, who received a pass from Kosta Koufos from the three-point line and took a running start to the basket resulting in a ferocious one-handed slam for an And-1 (video).
