Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg impressed Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry with his game-high 27-point performance in Thursday's Christmas Day matchup. Flagg, who has participated in Curry's basketball camp before entering the NBA, went 13-of-21 from the floor and finished with six rebounds, five assists, and one block in his first matchup against Steph and the Warriors.
After the game, in his walk-off interview, Curry discussed what he sees in Flagg's future, per NBA on ESPN's X (formerly Twitter).
"Just a true hooper. Competitor. You forget how young he is — just his presence out there on the court," Curry said. "So, the future is bright. I'm glad he got this experience in his first year to understand what the bright lights feel like. The league is in good hands."
The Warriors have won three consecutive games.
