Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins had perhaps the most interesting night of his career on Tuesday . The big man dropped a season - high 55 points and pulled down 13 rebounds en route to a victory , despite seeing an odd ejection and ensuing rescinding of said ejection . Cousins received a second technical and was ejected from the game but had his technical soon overturned , returning to the game to finish out his career night . He shot a ridiculous 17 - of - 28 from the field , 16 - of - 17 at the line , and 5 - of - 8 from three - point range . Cousins also added three blocks . There were several big nights on Portland 's end as well . Point guard Damian Lillard had 24 points and 15 assists , while C.J . McCollum led the team with 36 . Center Mason Plumlee , meanwhile , shot 10 - of - 13 and scored 27 points while pulling down 13 rebounds . As a whole , though , the Blazers shot an abysmal 4 - of - 27 from three - point range , a mark that may have cost the team the game . The host Sacramento Kings defeated the Portland Trail Blazers , 126 - 121 , behind 55 points from All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins . It was an interesting night for Sacramento ( 11 - 17 ) , as the team came away with the win despite an emotional roller coaster . Center DeMarcus Cousins was awarded a technical foul and ejected for spitting out his mouthpiece , but then saw the ejection rescinded . The confusing call seemed to have rubbed Cousins the wrong way , as he expressed anger at the `` ridiculous `` officiating in a heated post - game interview . While many will talk about the controversial mouthpiece call , Cousins had one of the best nights of his career en route to the Sacramento victory . The star center dropped 55 points to go along with 13 rebounds and three blocks . Cousins sealed the game with a clutch block on Blazers point guard Damian Lillard , ending what was truly a memorable performance . Portland ( 13 - 17 ) is heading in the wrong direction , having now lost seven of its last eight . The backcourt of Damian Lillard and C.J . McCollum shined in Tuesday 's game , but did not perform well enough to seal the win . McCollum led the team with 36 points , while Lillard had 24 and dished out 15 assists . Blazers center Mason Plumlee scored 27 while delivering 13 rebounds as well . Plumlee saw things get heated between him and Cousins at points , as both centers delivered terrific performances in the close game . The Kings will visit Utah on Wednesday , while Portland will host the Mavericks .
