Sacramento Kings Center DeMarcus Cousins was called for six fouls in the fourth quarter and fouled out with 30.6 seconds left in regulation as the Kings fell 108-96 in overtime to the Miami Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Most fans on social media were saying Cousins, who fouled out for the second time in three games, got robbed.

The last one led to his exit, and it came against former teammate Hassan Whiteside, who has gone from not good enough to be a King to the darling of South Beach.

Here’s how fans saw it.
