Video: DeMarcus Cousins nearly throws punch at Lithuania’s Jonas Valanciunas

While boxing out on a Rudy Gay free throw in the semifinals of the FIBA World Cup, Jonas Valanciunas let one of his elbows get a little too high on . The elbow got up into the throat of Cousins, and Cousins didn’t take too kindly to it. See the reaction in the below.
