Watch: Cousins schools Zaza, forces Kerr to call timeout 18 seconds in
USA Today Sports
Five players sit ahead of Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins following the first return of All-Star ballots. A reasonable argument can be made that at least one of those players, Zaza Pachulia of the Golden State Warriors, shouldn't even be on the list at all.
Just to show who the more dominant (and perhaps deserving) big man is, Cousins wasted no time Sunday night in taking Pachulia to school, using Sacramento's first possession against the visiting Warriors to leave him hanging with his back to the basket for an uncontested two-handed jam.
To accentuate just how dirty this move by Boogie was, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr immediately called a time-out, only 18 seconds into the opening quarter.
