DeMarcus Cousins had a double-double with a season-high 28 points to go with 19 rebounds to lead the Sacramento Kings over the New Orleans Hornets, 100-92, at New Orleans Arena on Monday. It was Cousins fifth straight double double and 17Th of the season. Tyreke Evans contributed 20 points, rookie Isaiah Thomas added 17 and Marcus Thornton, a Louisiana native who played his college ball at LSU chipped in with 12 off the bench as the Kings won their season high third straight game. The Kings trailed by 13 at halftime then by 9 entering the 4th quarter. The Kings went on a 7-0 run to start the 4th quarter lead by Evans and Cousins and outscored the Hornets 31-14 in the 4th quarter for the victory, just the third road win of the year. New Orleans had five players in double figures led by Greivis Vasquez, who had 20 points and nine assists. Emeka Okafor had 19 points and Chris Kaman added a 10 point, 12 rebound double-double in his first game since January 23 for a Hornets team that has dropped six straight and 15 of 16. Sacramento will travel to Minnesota for the second of a back-to-back on Tuesday before returning to Sacramento for a nationally televised game against Oklahoma City on Thursday. |
