DeMarcus Cousins was asked postgame about his altercation with Julius Randle at the end of the Sacramento Kings 101-91 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
“Just some friendly UK (University of Kentucky) love,” Cousins told Ros Gold-Onwude of CSN Bay Area. “It's pretty sad when opposing teams let it be known what their game plan is, which is to be physical, hit me and whatever the case may be. They kinda get away with it. I gotta learn how to play through it and keep my frustrations in order.”
“Julius is like my little brother, he said. “That's just a little friendly UK love.”
The book on Boogie has been out for quite a while — be physical and disrupt him — not because he can't take it, but because the minute he does not get a call, his mind exits the game and it becomes an internal war of frustration for him throughout the game.
Los Angeles executed the plan and Sacramento fell apart in the fourth quarter, being outscored 31-18 in the final period, and squandering a 28-point, nine-rebound performance from Cousins.
Randle was the Lakers igniter with 15 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
