"Before Vincent could even think about getting off his fifth three-pointer, Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg smothered him. Vincent stumbled and fell, scrambling to keep control of the ball. He did and passed it to a teammate. When Vincent got to his feet and got the ball back, the fans began to shout, "Shooot it!" So, Vincent did, nailing his fifth three-pointer over the outstretched hand of the 6-9 Flagg, drawing more cheers from the pro-Lakers crowd."
"Vincent was fouled on his sixth three-point attempt, sending him to the free-throw line for three free throws, all of which he made. That gave Vincent 18 points in what seemed like a flash in the first quarter. Vincent finished the game with 22 points on six-for-15 shooting and six-for-11 on three-pointers during the Lakers' 121-94 loss to the Mavericks."
