Blowing a 19-point lead at home would make anyone a little cranky.

For a player with a reputation of having a short fuse on the hardwood like DeMarcus Cousins, it was enough to send him over to the opposing bench Thursday.

Shortly after the Sacramento Kings' 101-91 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at Golden 1 Center, there was tension in the air as Boogie got in the face of forward and fellow Kentucky alumnus Julius Randle, with players intervening to prevent the two from getting physical.

Los Angeles is 5-4 on the season with the victory. They didn't earn their fifth win last season until Dec. 22.
