DeMarcus Cousins rewarded Steve Kerr’s decision to put him in the starting lineup with a spectacular Game 2 performance.
DeMarcus Cousins is still, very obviously, not 100 percent physically. This isn’t necessarily a surprise, as Boogie tore a muscle in his left quadriceps seven weeks ago and is playing despite the fact he wasn’t expected to return during the postseason. Instead, he came back for the NBA Finals, and in Game 2, Cousins played a major role in the Golden State Warriors evening up the series with the Toronto Raptors.
His first action in the series was less than ideal. Cousins looked like he was some combination of rusty and still exremely injured in eight minutes off the bench in Game 1, struggling to move and get into the flow of the game.
