DeMarcus Cousins and Darren Collison achieve a double-double: Rudy Gay scores 20 to help Kings win over the Bulls

Did any of you watch the second game on TNT?  The Chicago Bulls got off to a solid start. The Bulls were ahead 29-22 after the first quarter.   This game proves the theory "It's not how you start that matters, It's how you finish".  The Kings finished good outscoring the Bulls in the final three quarters 81-59.  The Sacramento Kings defeated the Chicago Bulls 103-88.  DeMarcus Cousins lead the way with 22 points, Rudy Gay added 20 points. Here are the stats for each team.

DeMarcus Cousins has achieved 9 double-doubles this season.  Cousins is tied with Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic in double-doubles.   The Kings shot 51 percent from the field and 66 percent from three point land.  I'm impressed with how DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay are playing this season. Cousins is seeming to change his attitude which I feel is making this team better.  DeMarcus Cousins to me is a top five center in the NBA today.  What are your thoughts about this game?
