The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Houston Rockets 122-109 on Tuesday night in a Texas showdown, securing their fourth win in the last five games. Rookie sensation Cooper Flagg continued his impressive start to his NBA career, scoring 15 points and adding another record to his burgeoning resume.
The 18-year-old Flagg is rapidly establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with, consistently breaking league records for youngest players. In 36 minutes of action, Flagg shot 7-for-15 from the field, finishing with a well-rounded stat line of 19 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Remarkably, Flagg now has three career games with at least 15 points, 2 steals, and 2 blocks – surpassing the totals of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, who each achieved that feat twice, making him the youngest player to reach that milestone.
The Mavericks also received a dominant performance from Anthony Davis, who contributed 29 points and 8 rebounds in the victory. After the game, Davis praised Flagg’s composure and willingness to embrace the challenge. “He’s very free, and that’s what we want everyone to be. Obviously, he gets a lot of attention being the number one pick, and teams are going to throw their best defenders at him, but he’s starting to learn how to deal with that pressure, knowing where he needs to be, and hitting big shots.”
Davis also shared an amusing anecdote: “I was on him a little bit about the offensive rebounds, he missed a couple, and he told me, ‘You only have five!’ I couldn’t really argue with that. He wants to be pushed, he wants to be challenged, and he wants to become stronger and greater.”
