Flagg Scores 45 in Near Triple-Double Against Lakers

Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg continues his stellar play with 45 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists against the Los Angeles Lakers. This follows his 51-point performance against Orlando, making him the first rookie since Allen Iverson in 1997 to achieve back-to-back 40-point games.

The remarkable performances come as Flagg is in the midst of an impressive Rookie of the Year race against his former Duke teammate, Kon Knueppel.
