"I had my birthday,"
"I'm 19. I've only missed like one 3 since I turned 19."
"I think I'm at my best when I'm just playing free and having fun."
"But just, I'm going to say the poise that he played with, he doesn't feel like he's so young out there. He seems like he played meaningful games and he was winning before. That's my opinion. He looked really mature out there."
Cooper Flagg scored 33 points on 14-of-21 shooting, including a season-high four 3s, in the Mavericks' 131-130 win over the Denver Nuggets. The 19-year-old has hit 5-of-7 from three in the two games since his birthday, a sharp jump from 23.4% from deep as an 18-year-old across 28 games. Flagg made his first seven field-goal attempts, celebrated by pointing to the bench and poking out his tongue. He finished with nine rebounds and nine assists. Nikola Jokic had 29 points and 14 assists and praised Flagg's poise despite his youth.
