What happened: Cooper Flagg came within inches of a free-throw chip shot in a PGA crossover moment that drew a quick reaction from Dallas on Friday.

Why it matters: The light touch keeps Flagg at the center of Dallas' preseason spotlight as the club moves through camp. It also lands one week before the Mavericks' China Games opener in Macao, where Flagg is one of the main draws.

What to watch: Dallas' preseason build continues next week with the China Games opener in Macao.
