RecapCooper Flagg finished Sunday’s win over the Nets with 25 points (8-of-13 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, 12 assists, one steal and three three-pointers.
The Nets struggled to come up with an answer for Flagg on Sunday. Shooting 7-of-10 from the field, the reigning Rookie of the Year recorded 20 points and seven assists before halftime. Flagg did more facilitating in the second half, attempting just three shots while dishing out five more assists. The end result was his fourth double-double of the season and third in as many games. Flagg’s 12 assists are a career high, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he exceeded that number later this season.
