Cooper Flagg delivered an impressive performance against the Denver Nuggets while his twin brother watched from courtside.

The Dallas Mavericks recently faced the Denver Nuggets at their home court, the American Airlines Center. It was a big game for standout rookie Cooper Flagg. Additionally, the presence of his twin brother Ace added even more excitement to the arena.

Flagg put on an impressive performance on the court against the Nuggets. He played for 40 minutes, scoring 33 points, along with nine assists and nine rebounds. During the post-game interview, the standout rookie reflected on seeing his twin brother, Ace Flagg, sitting courtside.

“It was great. He’s going through his first college season at Maine, but we play the game together all the time, just staying connected. It’s great to have him around. I don’t get to see him as much anymore,” Flagg said.

In addition to Flagg’s impressive display, Anthony Davis also had a strong performance. He played for 36 minutes, scoring 31 points along with four assists and nine rebounds. Naji Marshall also made a notable impact on the court, contributing 15 points, three assists, and four rebounds.

Cooper Flagg consistently showcases impressive performances on the court, reaching new heights with each game during his rookie season. Recently, reports have surfaced indicating that Flagg is set to join Kobe Bryant and LeBron James on a rare NBA records list this Christmas.

Meanwhile, his outstanding performance against the Nuggets stunned Anthony Davis, who was visibly surprised during the post-game interview to learn that Flagg recorded a remarkable 33 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists.

“Oh shit. I didn’t know that. Ooh. He’s not good enough to get a triple-double, I guess…I think I took one of his rebounds, too. But that’s a hell of a stat line, especially with a win,” Davis said.

The Mavericks currently sit in 11th place in the Western Conference standings, with a record of 12 wins and 19 losses. They will play their next game on Christmas Day against the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
