Cooper Flagg is officially taking over the NBA.

The 19-year-old rookie delivered a historic performance, dropping 45 points to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 134-128 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at the American Airlines Center.

Flagg finishes with:
🔥 45 points
🔥 9 assists
🔥 8 rebounds
🔥 2 steals + 1 block

With back-to-back 40-point games, Flagg joins rare company alongside legends like Allen Iverson and Wilt Chamberlain. He now has FOUR 40-point games this season — the most ever by a teenager, passing LeBron James.

Dallas also got key contributions from Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson, while LeBron nearly posted a 30-15-9 night for LA.

This wasn’t just a big game… this was a statement.
