Coming off a strong double-double performance against the Rockets in a loss, DeMarcus Cousins was once again in his elements as the center scored 24 points to go along with 11 rebounds for a double-double.

This is his fourth straight double-double and Boogie is finally starting to look like his old self. Cousins missed the most part of the regular season recovering from the Achilles injury suffered last year. However, once he came back, he started performing exceptionally well without showing any signs of rust.

The Hornets defenders had a tough night guarding Cousins as he bullied his way to the basket and was also causing some serious trouble on the defensive end. The Center is averaging 27.8 minutes per game this season and will be the Warriors' main weapon in the playoffs where he is expected to get extended minutes of action.
