"DeMarcus Cousins had a first half that pretty much summed up the Kings'.

His shots weren't falling. He was being knocked down. He was frustrated.

That usually has meant a loss for the Kings, but for the third game in a row, they figured out how to win.

The Kings fell behind the injury-depleted New Orleans Hornets by 18 points in the second quarter, but Cousins led them back in the second half for a 100-92 victory Monday night at New Orleans Arena."
