Cooper Flagg set an NBA record by scoring 32 points, the most ever by a teenager in a season opener, during the Dallas Mavericks' blowout loss to the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center. The 19-year-old former No. 1 overall pick led all scorers, shooting 10-of-17 from the field and converting 11 of his 13 free throw attempts.
Flagg was the only Dallas starter to score more than 20 points as the Mavericks struggled to overcome a 32-point halftime deficit. The game also featured guard Kyrie Irving's return after a 547-day absence, finishing with 15 points in 24 minutes while facing defensive traps from Kevin Durant and the Rockets.
