In a thrilling matchup between former Duke teammates, Cooper Flagg scored a record 49 points as a teenager, but the Dallas Mavericks fell 123-121 to the Charlotte Hornets. Kon Knueppel added 34 points, including the game-winning free throws, in a career-high performance. The game highlighted an intense Rookie of the Year race between the two star rookies.
In a hypothetical trade scenario, the Minnesota Timberwolves would obtain point guard LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets, enhancing their backcourt alongside Anthony Edwards.
