Flagg Makes NBA History with 35-Point Performance Against Clippers
Rookie Cooper Flagg’s 35 points led Dallas to victory despite the Clippers’ 18 turnovers and strong performances by Kawhi Leonard and James Harden.
- On Saturday night, rookie first-overall pick Cooper Flagg recorded a season-high 35 points as the Dallas Mavericks beat the Los Angeles Clippers 114-110 at Intuit Dome.
- The Mavericks, shorthanded with key absences, arrived missing five key players including Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford and held the league's worst offensive rating, giving the Los Angeles Clippers reason for optimism.
- With the teams tied at 83 entering the final quarter, Dallas regrouped after halftime, tying the game on a Max Christie 3, and Klay Thompson scored 17 of his 23 in the fourth.
- Turnovers hurt the Clippers as Los Angeles turned the ball over 18 times to Dallas Mavericks' nine, allowing 20 points off turnovers and extending their losing streak to four straight and seven straight home losses.
- Playing his 20th game, Cooper Flagg shot 13/22, grabbed eight rebounds, sank six free throws in the final 1:20, and both teams play Monday in Denver and Miami.
