Teen sensation Flagg erupts for 49 in historic teenage NBA night
19-year-old Cooper Flagg exploded for 49 points and 10 rebounds in the Mavericks' 123-121 loss to the Hornets, setting the NBA's all-time scoring record for a teenager and breaking Dallas' rookie single-game mark; he joined LeBron James and Anthony Edwards as teens with multiple 40-point games, and he became the first rookie since Michael Jordan to post a 49-point, 10-rebound game, though Charlotte’s Kon Knueppel spoiled the night with 34.
