Center (or centre) of attention: How best to use Cousins?
TORONTO — Marc Gasol’s highest-scoring game since joining the Toronto Raptors came at the perfect time — Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
He scored 20 points, busting out of a slump in a variety of places: at the rim, from midrange, on the foul line, beyond the arc.
All different, yet with one thing in common — Golden State’s DeMarcus Cousins wasn’t on the floor for any of them.
That may change Sunday night. It’s spelled centre in the U.S., centre in Canada, and either way that position battle may tell the tale when the Raptors host the Warriors in Game 2 of the title matchup.
