SACRAMENTO–The Sacramento Kings enjoyed a victory in Oklahoma City for a change getting a healthy victory there on Monday night 116-104. There was a low too when the Kings lost to the Philadelphia 76ers last week. The Sixers came into that game looking like a team on fire.

The Sixers came in and played tough defense they kept Cousins from being the unbelievable force that he could be and Philadelphia came out with a 110-105 victory. At that moment I knew what was going to happen on Saturday afternoon when the Phoenix Suns came to town because whatever team came out against the Suns was the team we were going to see for the rest of the season.

The Kings game in OKC saw the Thunder’s Kevin Durant out with an injury so the Thunder were playing with one hand tied behind their back. Cousins took high advantage of that rebounding a season high 19 and scoring 33 points.
