Cooper Flagg played his fifth game in the NBA on Wednesday night and it may have been his best. The No. 1 overall pick scored 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting, grabbed 10 rebounds and handed out four assists. He also played a pivotal roll on the Mavericks' decisive second-half performance as they notched a key early-season victory over the visiting Pacers.
Considering Flagg was coming off a shocking two-point, two-rebound display across 31 minutes vs. the Thunder, it was great for Mavs fans to see him rebound. It's going to be a long season amid a long and productive career down in Dallas and there's no reason to get too high or too low after a particular outing.
