On Thursday at the American Airlines Center, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Detroit Pistons 116-114 in overtime as Cooper Flagg recorded 23 points and 10 rebounds.
After building a big lead of 18 points, Dallas Mavericks saw the Detroit Pistons rally with a 25-9 run to tie at 95 despite shooting under 40% and losing starters Ausar Thompson and another to injury.
In the closing seconds, Cooper Flagg hit a go-ahead jumper with 19 seconds left, Isaiah Stewart split free throws to tie at 110, then Flagg assisted Anthony Davis for a decisive overtime dunk.
