Dallas Mavericks Make Cooper Flagg Announcement After Heat Win

The Dallas Mavericks announced that Cooper Flagg achieved a historic stat line following a 113-109 victory over the Miami Heat. Flagg recorded 29 points, 11 assists, six rebounds, five steals, and three blocks in 39 minutes. Per Mavericks public relations and Elias Sports Bureau, he became only the second player since blocks were first officially tracked in the 1973-74 season to reach those benchmarks in a single game.

Dallas overcame a triple-double from Miami's Giannis Antetokounmpo, who posted 29 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists, to improve to 2-2 on the season. Mavericks head coach Dusty May praised Flagg's late-game decision-making and competitive drive. Through four games, Flagg is averaging 25.0 points, 6.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.7 steals as Dallas prepares to host the Oklahoma City Thunder next.
