The NBA has assessed DeMarcus Cousins a postgame technical foul for his actions against Cameron Payne and Devin Booker.
You’ll recall that Cousins gave both players hard shoves after the game appeared to be over on a game-winning basket by DeAndre Ayton.

After the game, Booker says he just told Boogie, “go big blue.”
Afterwards, Devin Booker was asked about this exchange and subsequent jawing with Cousins and Rajon Rondo. “I was just saying, ‘Go Big Blue.’ That’s my Kentucky guy,” Booker said with a laugh about his fellow Wildcats alumni. “That’s all I was saying: ‘Go Big Blue.'” https://t.co/q00yRJE3ES

I doubt that’s what Booker actually said, but that is a good response to the media. I also don’t believe Boogie deserved a postgame technical foul.
