What happened: Cooper Flagg converted an and-1 opportunity to pull the Dallas Mavericks even after facing a 19-point deficit midway through the third quarter. The three-point play capped a Dallas surge to erase the second-half margin.

Why it matters: The Mavericks entered Thursday with a 4-3 record through seven games in 2026-27, positioned 10th in the Western Conference. Erasing a double-digit deficit demonstrates key late-game resilience following a 115-100 defeat against the Sacramento Kings.

By the numbers: Flagg is averaging 25.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game in 2026-27 through six games. Dallas entered Thursday at 4-3 through seven games, sitting 10th in the Western Conference.

What to watch: Dallas looks to close out the comeback and improve its standing in the Western Conference.
