Cousins fouls out one assist short of triple-double, Kings lose in OT

Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports

DeMarcus Cousins was having a great night Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. With 32 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists, he was one dime away from his first triple-double since 2012. 

More importantly, the Sacramento Kings were trying to nail down an upset win over the Mavs. But then with 33 seconds left in regulation, Cousins picked up his sixth thanks to a pretty decent acting job by Tyson Chandler. 

It's a shame the Golden Globes are over. Tyson Chandler was incredible in "Flop"

Cousins fouled out, and Chandler hit the game-tying free throws. To overtime they went, where the Mavs secured a 108-104 win. Monta Ellis led Dallas with 28 points and 10 assists.
