Regular Season Round 6: Denver N. - Sacramento K. 105-110
Date: November 3, 2014
DeMarcus Cousins was bleeding from somewhere and grew more and more frustrated as he struggled to pinpoint the source. He checked his arms for a cut in the locker room after the game, his chest for a scratch and his legs for a slice before finally figuring it out - his nose was dripping blood. It was that sort of physical contest. Darren Collison scored 21 points, including three free throws in the final 16.2 seconds, in a contest that featured 63 fouls as the Sacramento Kings held off the Denver Nuggets 110-105 on Monday night. “We willed our way to this win,” said Cousins, who had 19 points and five rebounds. “We played pretty tough tonight. We grinded this win out.” The Kings are off to a 3-1 start for the first time since 2010-11. Impressive wins, too. They beat Portland on Halloween. Then, they knocked off the Clippers in Los Angeles on Sunday and turned around to outhustle the Nuggets on the second night of a back-to-back. “This is definitely a confidence booster going forward,” Collison said. Early on, the Kings couldn’t find any sort of offensive rhythm, missing shot after shot after shot. In years past, that might’ve led someone to take it upon their shoulders to shoot the team out of the slump. Not this version of the Kings. Not through four games, anyway. When times have turned tough, they’ve stayed the course. “Everybody is saying, ‘Play through it, fellas. We’re going to get through this,’” Cousins said. “Everybody has that mindset, so we’ll be able to handle (tough) situations. That’s a good sign.” The Nuggets had seven players in double figures, led by Arron Afflalo and JaVale McGee with 16 points apiece. Wilson Chandler scored 12 of his 14 in the fourth quarter. The difference in this game was at the free throw line, where the Kings made 40 of 47. “They shot too many free throws,” Darrell Arthur said. “We have to do a better job without fouling.” Tied at 96, Ray McCallum drove past the Denver defense for a layup with 3:18 remaining to give the Kings a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. “This is definitely a confidence booster going forward,” Collison said.
