Cousins goes for 37 and 20 as Kings beat Nuggets

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

DeMarcus Cousins is known to be fond of former Sacramento Kings coach Michael Malone, but he didn't do the new Denver Nuggets boss any favors Friday night.

Cousins scored 37 points and grabbed 20 rebounds - his first 30/20 game of the season - as the Kings took down the Nuggets 116-100. He's the third player this season to score 30 points and pull down 20 rebounds in a game, joining Andre Drummond and Dwight Howard.

The 6-foot-11, 270-pound All-Star also showed off some guard-like ball-handling skills.

Center's body, guard's handles.

Boogie added four blocks in the win, including this stuff on Kenneth Faried.

Not today, Kenneth.
