The Mavs took down Denver 131-130, and Cooper Flagg was at the center of it. 33 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists — flirting with a triple-double while making big plays when it actually mattered. Confident touches. Big shots. The right reads when the game tightened up. This didn’t feel like a “nice rookie night” — it felt like a player who already knows the moment belongs to him. Games like this are usually where the conversation shifts from potential to expectation. At what point do we stop saying “future star” and just call him a star? #NBA #Mavericks #CooperFlagg #Nuggets #NikolaJokic #JamalMurray #NBADiscussion
