This award should go to Zach Randolph, who put up 35 points and 17 rebounds. It could go to Beno Udrih, who quietly scored 24 points, dished out six assists and grabbed four rebounds. But DeMarcus Cousins grew up a bit tonight and was dominant. The rookie scored 21 points (career high), 16 rebounds (tied career high) and dished out three assists. DMC finished with five fouls, but his defense on Marc Gasol was spot on, limiting the Grizzlies' big man to 11 points (4-13 fg's) and five rebounds in 40 minutes of play.
