Kings throttle Rockets 107-97

Xinhua, December 16, 2015 Adjust font size:

Demarcus Cousins had 26 points and 12 rebounds as the Sacramento Kings beat the Houston Rockets 107-97, winning its third straight game.

Darren Collison, who started in place of suspended guard Rajon Rondo, had 14 points, a season-high 13 assists and six rebounds. Omri Casspi added 19 points for the Kings.

"We all know what kind of player Rondo is, but when somebody is down, we've still got to be able to win games," said Rudy Gay, who had 17 points and 13 rebounds.

"Darren came out there and he made an effort to keep his team in check and run the team like a point guard should. He did that," Gay added.

James Harden scored 33 points for Houston. Jason Terry and Patrick Beverley finished with 14 apiece. Endi
