The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced Wednesday that it made a technical foul on Los Angeles Clippers center DeMarcus Cousins for his actions toward the end of the Phoenix Suns’ Game 2 victory in the Western Conference Finals.
A video replay released by the National Basketball Association (NBA) shows Cousins pushing Suns guards Cameron Payne and then Devin Booker through a dead-ball stand.

Their cousins seemed to be dealing with Payne as the teams went to their separate gatherings before officials began a lengthy review of the replay that lasted more than eight minutes. Booker, heading to the Suns bench, went to Cousins apparently to defend Payne and was also pushed by the big man in Los Angeles.
Small squabbles occurred immediately after Phoenix center Dender Eaton made an out-of-bounds pass from Jay Crowder and pushed her across the net for the go-ahead bucket he grabbed through the last bell.
The Cousins, who appeared in 16 regular season games this year with the Clippers, played a minor role in the first two games of the series against Phoenix.
He scored 11 points and grabbed four rebounds in the first game but struggled with quick errors and appeared in a total of 13 minutes on Sunday.
The Cousins played for just four minutes and scored two points and two fouls with a turn in four minutes during Tuesday’s second game.
