Sacramento Kings centre DeMarcus Cousins has been a tough matchup for the Raptors. ( Rich Pedroncelli / The Assoicated Press )SACRAMENTO, CALIF.—It was just two weeks ago that the Toronto Raptors faced the Sacramento Kings and familiarity may help rather than breed contempt. The Raptors were without Jonas Valanciunas in that game — he sat out with a sore knee — and Sacramento’s DeMarcus Cousins lit them up for 22 points and 14 rebounds. “We were very soft on him in the low post last time, we were without Jonas last time.” The Raptors had their full complement of big men available Sunday night. He, Valanciunas and Jakob Poeltl, who started the first game against the Kings, gave Toronto different looks to throw at Cousins.
