Cooper Flagg has 26 points, 8 assists as Mavericks beat depleted Thunder 120-96
Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford hit his first three-point shot of an NBA career in a 120-96 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. The win marked the Mavericks' first home victory since first-year head coach Dusty May took the reins. Cooper Flagg led the scoring with 26 points and eight assists, while P.J. Washington added 18 points.
Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving went 4-of-4 from beyond the arc for 15 points in his first home game since tearing his ACL in March. The Mavericks dominated the shooting charts, draining a season-best 16 three-pointers on 45 attempts, including a team-high 11 in the first half. The Thunder struggled from three, going 5-of-32 for a season-worst 15.6% from distance.
Dallas’ accuracy from long range included Gafford’s long-awaited 3-pointer. Oklahoma City will next host the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
