Flagg delivers late: 43 points lift Dallas past Indiana 125-122
Cooper Flagg supplied the finishing touch for Dallas: 43 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in a 125-122 victory over the Indiana Pacers on November 9, covered in the NBA's official November 10 roundup.[3]
La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights his performance in its overnight review, while the official game page lists him as Dallas' leader across those three categories.[1][2]
**More than a scoring total.** Flagg scored 16 in the fourth quarter and capped the decisive stretch with a midrange jumper with 26 seconds remaining, according to the NBA recap.[3]
That is the revealing part of the performance: production paired with responsibility late in a close game.
The season-high 43 came in his second NBA season, not his rookie year.[3]
Kyrie Irving added 35 points, including seven three-pointers, as the Mavericks extended their winning streak to three games.[3]
For Indiana, Pascal Siakam finished with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, keeping the Pacers firmly in the story told by the league's roundup.[3]
This was a competitive game, rather than an effortless display of superiority.
**What to watch.** Our editorial reading is to consider scoring, rebounding and playmaking together: Flagg's full line tells readers more than the headline number alone.[2][3]
The result documents a Dallas win and a positive run of games; it does not establish that a playoff berth has already been secured.[3]
