Kings' DeMarcus Cousins receives 17th technical of the season

As reported by ESPN, DeMarcus Cousins received a questionable technical late in the first quarter, his NBA-leading 17th of the season. One more technical and he will serve his second one-game suspension. Cousins says he's trying to not be so demonstrative when calls go against him, but acknowledged that it's a struggle.

"I can't be myself. Me playing the way I play is what makes me the player I am," Cousins said. "I'm trying to find a way to do what these guys are asking me to do. Obviously what I've been doing is not acceptable. It's not easy, but I'm trying to find a way."
