Beijing time on April 17, 2022, the last game of the NBA's first game day of the playoffs was played between the Warriors and the Nuggets, and the advantage of the Warriors in this game was very obvious, they had led the opponent by as many as 20 points in the first three quarters, and the game looked like there was no suspense!
But as the game entered the fourth quarter, there was another familiar picture for fans, and during a defensive round by the Nuggets, Cousins pointed at the referee and read the words, and then the referee immediately blew Cousins' technical foul. Then Cousins disobeyed the referee and continued to complain to the referee, the referee was very decisive to give Cousins another technical foul, cousins also ate two technical fouls in a row and was expelled!
Before being sent off for the game, Cousins played with 9 minutes and 39 seconds, shooting 2-of-5 from the field, and had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. The data is actually good, but for the team, the biggest significance is that he can top some playing time and let Jokic get rest.
And after Cousins was sent off, Jokic also had to play, and the Nuggets were already gone! Cousins' willingness to complain about refereeing has run through his career and is really hard to change!
