Cousins scores 54th point, spits mouthguard, gets ejected, sprints to locker room, gets un-ejected
The incredible sequence that happened in Sacramento
As reported by ESPN, in the final minute, DeMarcus Cousins put the Kings back in front when he drove the lane for a layup and was fouled by Mason Plumlee.
Cousins initially was given a second technical foul and thus ejected for spitting his mouth piece in the direction of Portland's bench after making the shot. He ran into the tunnel toward the locker room, but the officials huddled and changed the call.
In a most unusual scene, Cousins then returned to the court and made the free throw for a three-point play, giving the Kings a 122-119 lead with 35 seconds left.
"It's ridiculous. It's obvious what's being done out here. It's on a nightly basis," Cousins said. "I hope the world can see now what's going on out here because it's getting ridiculous. It's really ridiculous."
Cousins said that the mouthguard came out accidentally.
