"Cooper Flagg looked every bit like the generational talent he was billed as, meanwhile Collin-Murray Boyles was uncharacteristically passive in his debut and struggled to get his usually magnetic mitts on the ball, finishing with zero points. Alternatively Flagg ripped transition slams and step-back 3s on his way to an efficient 22 points, helping the Mavericks down the Raptors 139-129, dropping them to 1-2 on the season."
"Scottie Barnes was marvelous, posting a 33-point, 11-rebound, six-assist line and scoring on good efficiency. He made his triples from the top of the floor, aggressively attacked the rim and made good reads to his teammates, all while rebounding and guarding well. Brandon Ingram waltzed off Iverson cuts and wide-pin downs to an easy 22. Both teams attempted to set a breakneck pace out of the gate, with the Mavericks doing a better job, getting big dunks from PJ Washington and Flagg in transition."
