Rookies and vets shined elsewhere. Cooper Flagg nearly triple-doubled with 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists for the Mavericks in a win over Cleveland. DeMar DeRozan erupted for 41 points and 11 assists, the oldest ever for that stat line, lifting Sacramento past Utah. Giannis Antetokounmpo dazzled with 31, 14, and 8 before a scary knee exit in Milwaukees win.
