The Pelicans finally won with DeMarcus Cousins, beating the Lakers on Sunday after starting 0-4 in games he played since the trade from the Kings.
But New Orleans’ win might include Cousins’ loss -- financially.
Cousins responded profanely to a heckler who just happened to have a camera pointed at the center:
Cousins is far from the only player who has responded with such harsh language to a fan, and it often doesn’t draw fines.
But Cousins was caught on video and is already in the league’s crosshairs for fan interaction. I doubt he gets the benefit of the doubt, even if he should.
The fan got the exact response he craved. Who was harmed here?
