On October 28, the Mavericks lost to the Thunder 94-101. In this game, the two teams struggled defensively. In the third quarter, the Thunder played a 39-27 offensive and defensive wave to widen the point difference. In the final quarter, the Mavericks responded 25-14 and ultimately lost by 7 points. SGA scored 23 points and 8 assists, Holmgren had 18 points and 11 rebounds, Mitchell had 17 points and 7 rebounds, and Harten had 16 points and 12 rebounds.

This is the Mavericks' second back-to-back game. In the last game against the Raptors, Flagg scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, matching Kobe. He is the second 18-year-old player after Kobe to have 20+0 turnovers.

But this night, Flagg fought hard for 31 minutes, making 1 of 9 + 0 of 3 three-pointers, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 steals, and 0 turnovers. His shooting percentage was 11.1%, his three-point shooting percentage was 0%, his true shooting percentage was 12.5%, and his plus-minus value was -20.

In this game, the core of the Mavericks, Big Eyebrow, scored 10 of 16 three-pointers and 1 of 2 three-pointers for 26 points, 11 rebounds and 1 block in 38 minutes. However, only Washington and Christie were in good condition beside him. Klay was 3 of 11, Russell was 3 of 14, Flagg was 1 of 9, and Marshall was 2 of 7.

Why does Flagg stretch his hips so much? A shoulder injury became the only excuse, and Flagg had a thick ice pack on his left shoulder toward the end of the game.

ESN reporter Tim McMahon reported after the game: Flagg's left shoulder swelled greatly when he was a substitute. He seemed to have injured his left shoulder in the first attack of the game. (This is the reason why Flagg scored 1 out of 9)

Flagg faced off against Holmgren many times in this game. Holmgren directly completed the dunk against Flagg. Flagg's 2.06-meter size was not worth mentioning in Chet's eyes.

It is said that Holmgren is a bamboo pole and has the biggest weakness in confrontation, but when he faced Flagg, he dared to fight and fight in singles, squeezed and crushed him in various ways, and finally carried Flagg forward, and Flagg was even knocked away by him.

Flagg wanted to regain face. He wanted to carry Holmgren for a layup, but Holmgren directly hit the goal with both hands. Holmgren defeated Flagg in this campaign. In 32 minutes of this campaign, Chet made 6 of 10 + 2 of 5 three-pointers, which was very efficient.
