On the night of November 30, Dallas faced off against the Clippers. In this matchup, Dallas rookie Cooper Flagg delivered a unique feat. Thanks to Flagg's performance, Dallas secured a 114-110 victory.
Details: Flagg became the youngest player in NBA history to score more than 35 points in a single game. He accomplished this at 18 years and 343 days old, surpassing LeBron James by just five days. The NBA legend had set this record back in 2003.
Now, Flagg and James stand alone as the only players in NBA history to score 30+ points in a game before turning 19.
Reminder: Lithuania scored 9 points in 9 seconds, pulling off an insane comeback against Great Britain.
