DeMarcus Cousins had 17 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, zero steals, zero blocks and five turnovers in Wednesday's loss. He tweaked his right ankle tonight, but played through it and should come back strong after the break. He also managed to stay out of trouble against the Mavs, after drawing a suspension for hitting O.J. Mayo in the batteries in December, and picking up a flagrant foul and being ejected for an elbow thrown at Vince Carter in January.
