After the timeout, the Kings started to exert effort.
Cousins began to relentlessly attack Jokic inside, showcasing the prowess of a league's top center.
Currently, Cousins is considered one of the top centers in the league.
His playing style is diverse, and combined with a good shooting touch today, Jokic found it tough to defend.
Cousins also increased his attacks on the basket,
leading the referees to continuously call defensive fouls on Jokic, sending him to the bench.
Under Cousins' lead, the entire Kings team regained their touch, with McLemore, Rondo, and Rudy Gay all starting to hit three-pointers.
On the Nuggets' side, without Jokic's organization, their offensive efficiency slightly declined.
Especially after Zeng Xingyang was subbed out and the rotation came in, the Nuggets' offensive efficiency noticeably dropped.
The Kings overtook the score, playing with soaring momentum at home, getting more excited as the game progressed.
