DALLAS -- DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings started and ended with victories on a six-game trip that got a little weird in the middle.Now theyre headed home, but the road-heavy schedule isnt quite finished.Cousins had 24 points and 14 rebounds, and the Kings snapped a three-game losing streak with a 120-89 victory over the last-place Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.Rudy Gay scored 19 as the Kings wrapped up a trip that started with a win at Brooklyn before an overtime loss at Washington on a back-to-back and a postponement in Philadelphia over poor floor conditions.It was the second road trip of at least five games for the Kings, who play 21 of the first 35 games away from their new Golden 1 Center.Nobody wants to fly that long with a loss under their belt, said Cousins, who had his 11th double-double and tied his season high with seven assists.

The second half was inexcusable. The way we played -- just the way we performed all around -- everything from how we competed, decision-making. Shot-making comes and goes, but the competitive spirit has got to be there.TIP-INSKings: Kosta Koufos had six of his eight points during the 11-0 run to start the second half. ...

To be honest, a couple of times they made some good throws versus tight coverage. A couple of times the coverage didnt necessarily finish in the way were supposed to, and the pass rush didnt get home. Thats something Im going to have to get back, look at, and fix quickly because we need to move on.KICKING CONUNDRUMMissouri missed out on at least eight points due to place-kicking issues.
