Regular Season Round 12: Sacramento K. - Milwaukee B. 103-100

Date: January 5, 2012
As the buzzer sounded and the home crowd roared, DeMarcus Cousins sought out Keith Smart and bear-hugged the new Sacramento Kings coach in a warm embrace. At long last, Cousins could smile with a head coach again. Cousins had 19 points and 15 rebounds, Tyreke Evans made four free throws in the final minute to finish with 26 points and Sacramento overcame a 21-point halftime deficit to stun the Milwaukee Bucks 103-100 on Thursday night. The victory came just hours after the Kings fired coach Paul Westphal amid an escalating feud with Cousins. "You just felt free out there," Cousins said. "You didn't feel like you had like 30-pound bags on your back. You just felt free. It felt good to be out there." Especially when it leads to a win. Evans hit the go-ahead free throws with 18.1 seconds remaining and followed with two more to make former assistant and Golden State Warriors coach Smart a winner in his Kings debut. Sacramento completed a stretch of three games in three nights in three cities with the lone win. "The way we played tonight, it was unbelievable," Cousins said. Milwaukee mismanaged a runaway into a swift and surprising defeat. Brandon Jennings scored 31 points and dished out seven assists, and Drew Gooden had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Bucks in place of center Andrew Bogut, who missed his second straight game for undisclosed personal reasons. Stephen Jackson added 13 points, five rebounds and four assists in Milwaukee's third straight loss. The Bucks outshot the Kings 51 percent to 40 percent. *Courtesy of www.sfgate.com
