Once again, Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has found himself at odds with the Sacramento media.

Cousins' temper flared Monday after a win over the Lakers when he confronted a columnist for the Sacramento Bee regarding an article that covered a recent incident at a New York club, in which the big man and teammate Matt Barnes were involved in an alleged assault that has resulted in a lawsuit. The columnist, Andy Furillo, made reference to a previous alleged assault involving Cousins and his brother Jaleel, a player with the Mavericks' D-League affiliate.

As captured on video, Cousins approaches Furillo, puts his finger in the columnist's face and curses at him.

This is not the first time Cousins has attempted “to control the media,” as phrased by the Bee. News services
