Number crunch: Fourth-quarter push sends Kings over Raptors
A statistical look at the Kings’ 107-101 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
▪ 3: Kings’ winning streaks of at least three games last season.
▪ 3: Team-high three-pointers by the Kings’ DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins is among those stepping forward with offers to help pay the funeral expenses of a slain Grant High football player.
▪ 9: Advantage in fourth-quarter points by the Kings (28-19).
▪ 11: Unanswered points by the Kings in the game’s final 2:50.
▪ 14: Points off the bench by the Kings’ Omri Casspi.
▪ 14: Assists by the Kings’ Rajon Rondo.
▪ 18: Assists by the Raptors.
▪ 24: Advantage in points in the paint by the Kings (52) over the Raptors (28).
▪ 27: Season-high points by the Kings’ Rudy Gay on 10-of-16 shooting.

Just an all-around monster effort from Cousins: 36pts, 3 3pts, 10reb, 3blk. Not that we expect any less. Guy puts up ridiculous numbers.

▪ 43: Game-high minutes played by Rondo, who has not played fewer than 43 minutes since Nov. 6 in a 116-110 loss to the Rockets. Read a story about the impending return of Darren Collison, which should ease Rondo’s workload.
▪ 44: Kings’ three-point shooting percentage in their past three wins (30 of 68).
▪ 55: Shooting percentage by Cousins (12 of 22) against Toronto.
