Dusty May: ‘Thank goodness’ Cooper Flagg is a Maverick

Dusty May praised Cooper Flagg after the 19-year-old scored a season-high 43 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the Dallas Mavericks' 125-122 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Flagg shot 16-of-25 from the field, adding six assists and three steals to secure his fourth consecutive double-double. May commended the forward's versatile scoring ability, passing, and composure in winning time.

Kyrie Irving also starred for Dallas, contributing 35 points with seven three-pointers as the duo combined for 78 points. Dallas held Indiana's Pascal Siakam to just three second-half points to complete a comeback victory. The win capped a three-game homestand sweep, improving the Mavericks' record to 7-4.
