Cooper Flagg Erupts for 45 Points in Win Over Lakers

Cooper Flagg is evolving into a premier offensive force for the Mavericks. In Sunday's 134-128 victory over the Lakers, Flagg recorded a massive 45-point performance, shooting 14-of-27 from the field and 15-of-17 from the free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, nine assists, one block, and two steals across 39 minutes. With only four games left in the regular season, his expanding versatility and growing impact as a primary offensive engine remain the focal point for Dallas.
