Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg delivered a historic performance in Tuesday's 131-130 win over the Nuggets, recording 33 points (14-21 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 9 rebounds, and 9 assists with a career-best four three-pointers. He became the first 19-year-old in NBA history to achieve a 33-9-9 stat line and only the second teenager ever. Flagg, who has scored 20+ points in five of his last six games, also had his best long-range shooting night, impressing Nikola Jokic with his clutch play.
