Owner Real Deal Posted February 24, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 WASHINGTON -- With the pace off the charts and players driving to the basket at will, the first half of Wednesday night's game between the Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards looked like an All-Star Game preview -- minus the All-Stars. Then a few things happened that weren't All-Star-like at all: The Kings started playing some defense, DeMarcus Cousins made the unselfish decision to keep himself on the bench, and the coach of the losing team angrily ripped his players for pursuing "style over substance." Cousins and Tyreke Evans sat the entire fourth quarter while Marcus Thornton, rookie Isaiah Thomas and Chuck Hayes took over, leading Sacramento to a 115-107 win that snapped a six-game losing streak. "I was getting ready to put Cousins back in," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "And he said `Let Chuck Hayes stay in the game.' That's gigantic for him. Tyreke Evans had a fabulous first half, came out of the game, didn't play in the fourth quarter and simply cheered his teammates on.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120222_SAC@WAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
