Cooper Flagg had a breakout game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, but it was overshadowed by a no-call late in the contest. With 17.9 seconds left, Flagg came off a screen with Kyle Kuzma chasing him and fell on an in-bounds play. Kuzma collected the ball and scored on the other end to give the Bucks a three-point lead.
Kuzma seemingly grabbed Flagg's jersey on that play, which led to the Mavericks rookie hitting the hardwood. The Mavericks could have taken the lead on that possession as the Bucks were out of fouls, and Flagg would have gone to the line. However, the game ended 116-114 in the Bucks' favor.
