Cooper Flagg had 43 points and 10 rebounds and Kyrie Irving scored 35 while completing a back-to-back for the first time this season as the Dallas Mavericks rallied past the Indiana Pacers 125-122 on Monday night.
P.J. Washington Jr. could have extened the Dallas lead with four seconds left but missed both free throws, with Indiana’s Obi Toppin grabbing the rebound. The Pacers’ final possession ended with Dallas’ Caleb Martin tipping away a pass by Andrew Nembhard near the sideline.
Flagg had a season-high in scoring while Irving tied for his season best. They combined to score 26 points in the fourth quarter — including Dallas’ first 13 — as the Mavericks outscored the Pacers 35-29.
