His outstanding performance came at a crucial time, as the Mavericks were missing several key players due to injuries. Flaggs effort embodied the teams next-man-up mentality, and his performance was praised by coach Jason Kidd. Flaggs historic night showcased his immense talent and potential, proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the NBA.
