Surprise, surprise, DeMarcus Cousins got heated during an NBA game. The Sacramento Kings big man is often in the middle of some sort of NBA on-court incident almost every time the Kings play and last night was no different.
In the fourth quarter alone Cousins was hit with two technicals, one to start the quarter and one to end it. DeMarcus got involved in a dust-up between the third and fourth quarter. It all started with an upset Taj Gibson and ended with Cousins, Gibson and Rajon Rondo receiving technical fouls.

Then, after attempting a late three and trying to argue he was fouled, DeMarcus Cousins received his second technical of the game, 16th of his season, and was ejected for his efforts.
The NBA made the announcement official on Tuesday also fining him for his actions in another recent game.

For the rest of the season, every second technical foul Cousins receives, he will be suspended. In comparison, he finished last season with 17 total technicals.
