After correction, Cooper Flagg ended tonight with a team-high 29 points, 11 assists, 5 steals while adding 6 rebounds and 3 blocks. Per @EliasSports, Flagg became the 2nd player since 1973-74 (when blks/stls were recorded) to notch that stat line (James Harden, 41-9-11-6-3).

Mark Cuban’s sale of the Mavericks has long been reported as being at a $3.5B valuation, though I’ve consistently reported $3.9B. Here, though, he says the valuation was $4.3B.
Mark Cuban reveals why he ultimately sold the Dallas Mavericks after buying the team for $285 million and selling it for $4.3 billion "It went from being about basketball to being about valuations. And it went from, 'Hey, I love basketball and this is all about basketball,' to the NBA being more about, 'Okay, how much are these teams worth?'" "In order to compete, you had to be good at real estate and things that had nothing to do with basketball." "I never thought I would sell, but then things changed around me and I guess, you know, having kids changed me as well."

Whatever differences Troy Aikman and Joe Buck may or may not have had in recent weeks, you sure can’t tell it in the broadcast. Not surprised. They are above all else pros.

We all thought Cooper Flagg would be out well into this week, but tonight he had 29 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 blocks -- and 12 points in the 4th quarter.

Humble apologies to the 2-2 Mavericks, who have wins at Indiana and Miami that I sure didn't envision.
Hoo, man. Mavs could be staring at an 0-6, 1-7 start. And playing 10 of their last 15 on the road? Yikes.

The Rook with a big put-back -- and two possessions later drew a loose ball foul.

Cowboys halftime would be a good time to toggle over to the Mavs, who lead Miami 95-93 with 8 minutes left.

Apologies to Schotty. Clearly he knew his porous defense would suddenly stiffen.
What the heck is that call? Troy Aikman called it interesting. That’s putting it politely.

Interesting, and on-point, analogy by Troy Aikman, comparing DeMarvion Overshown to Sean Lee in terms of talent vs. availability.

Unfortunately for the Cowboys, their defense also looks like its former self. Same goes for sloppyness. Three Philly first downs tonight via Cowboys penalties.
Guess we're going to get Jerry Jones-Stephen A. shots all evening. In other news, Cowboys' offense looking more like its former self so far tonight.

Sergio De Larrea (right knee strain) is doubtful to return to tonight’s game against the Miami Heat.

An often forgotten, unfortunate aspect of the 2011 World Series for the Rangers. MLB postponed prematurely. It barely rained that evening. Cardinals’ fatigued pitching staff got an extra day of rest.

Mavs’ offense has grinded to a halt.
