Cooper Flagg makes history, surpasses LeBron James as youngest player to score 35 points

Cooper Flagg packed a lot of history into the Dallas Mavericks' back-to-back games against the NBA's two Los Angeles squads. On Friday night, Flagg dished out 11 assists, the most ever by an 18-year-old, in a loss to the Lakers. Twenty-four hours later, Flagg became the youngest player to score 35 points in a game, a feat that was much more satisfying because it occurred as he led an injury-depleted Dallas team to a 114-110 win over the Clippers at the Intuit Dome. "He's only 18 years old, but he seems like he's been in this league before," Mavs coach Jason Kidd said.
