DeMarcus Cousins Wanted to Fight Blake Griffin, Then Whined to a Reporter That Griffin is "Babied" by Referees

Griffin scored 14 points, including six during a crucial 4th quarter stretch and the Clippers rebounded from a loss to the Lakers by beating the Kings, 93-85. Things got chippy between Griffin and Cousins late. Cousins fouled out, and according to Sam Amick of SI.com:

"He could be seen jawing with Griffin from the team’s bench before heading toward the locker room, then pointing toward the tunnel as if to invite him to the worst kind of postgame party."

Griffin, who was assaulted by Jason Smith of the Hornets a couple weeks ago, stayed above the fray and got in a subtle dig: “That’s something that will hopefully go away as time goes on for him.”

Cousins refused to talk about the incident, but went off on the league and referees going easy on Griffin.

"“He’s babied,” Cousins told SI.com after the Kings fell to the Clippers 93-85. “He’s the poster child of the league. He sells tickets, but he’s babied. Bottom line.” Babied by whom, Cousins was asked. “The refs, the league — period,” he continued. “He gets away with [everything]. He taunts players. Nothing is done. He’s babied.”"
