DeMarcus Cousins earned praise from all quarters as he dominated Nikola Jokic in the Golden State Warriors' 116-102 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. Dangerman Jokic was limited to 10 points, five rebounds and six assists as the Nuggets lost ground in the race for the number one seed in the Western Conference. Cousins' close attention restricted Jokic's influence at Oracle Arena, leading to coach Steve Kerr and star man Stephen Curry to hail a performance that yielded 28 points and 13 rebounds.
