RecapCooper Flagg authored a dominant performance to lead the Mavericks to a 125-122 win over the Pacers on Monday, delivering a season-high 43 points (16-of-25 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block over 38 minutes.
Unreal. Flagg delivered 16 clutch points in the fourth quarter alone, joining veteran teammate Kyrie Irving to account for 78 of Dallas’ 125 points in an impressive victory. The 19-year-old prodigy has now scored at least 20 points in seven of his first 10 games, delivering first-round fantasy value while averaging an elite 25.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest. It’s difficult to imagine a more encouraging start to the season for rising superstar still in his teens.
