Fresh off their first win of the season last night, the Dallas Mavericks played host to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder on night two of the back-to-back set. Once again sporting their throwback green jerseys, the Mavs couldn’t bring their green magic this time, falling 101-94.
Let’s get to the grades!
COOPER FLAGG: C-
2 PTS / 2 REB / 0 AST / 2 STL / 0 BLK – 31 MIN
The second night of his first NBA back-to-back ought to be summarily forgotten by all parties. The less said about this one, the better, as there is virtually nothing positive whatsoever. Make no mistake, this game is really a D. A 1 out of 10 in every sense. That said, we’re not going to bury the rookie in his first back-to-back against the defending champs, so a C- it is.
MAX CHRISTIE: C+
14 PTS / 2 REB / 0 A
