Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins exploded and got himself ejected in the third quarter of Tuesday night's game in Houston.
Cousins got his first technical foul for arguing with an official after being called for a questionable foul on Dwight Howard with 10:11 remaining in the third. However, as Kings coach Mike Malone was arguing with the officials in Cousins' defense during a timeout a couple of minutes later, Cousins completely erupted by coming off the bench and interrupting their conversation, yelling at the official and dropping an F-bomb. The official immediately gave Cousins his second technical, resulting in an automatic ejection from the game, while Kings assistant coaches had to restrain him and send him to the locker room.
Cousins has 15 technical fouls this year, and will earn an automatic one-game suspension if he gets another one. Will Cousins ever learn?
Meanwhile, the Rockets blew out the Kings 129-103.
