James Allen+FollowDerik Queen Makes History: 33-10-10, 4 BLK on 73% ShootingWhat a coming-out party. Derik Queen put up a 33 PTS, 10 AST, 10 REB triple-double on 11-of-15 FG — and added 4 BLOCKS — in the Pelicans’ thriller vs. the Spurs. Queen is the first rookie center in NBA history to record a 30-point triple-double; with the 4 blocks, it’s a rookie stat line we’ve never seen. San Antonio still stole it late behind Dylan Harper, but Queen’s efficiency and two-way pop were the story. #NBA #DerikQueen #Pelicans #RookieWatch #TripleDouble 10Share
Steve Francis+FollowCooper Flagg Exploded for 35 as Mavs Beat Clippers 114–110Rookie phenom Cooper Flagg just had the best game of his young career, exploding for 35 points in the Mavericks’ 114–110 win over the Clippers. Flagg was everywhere — efficient scoring, attacking all night, and looking completely comfortable against veteran defenders. And when the game tightened up, Klay Thompson took over, scoring 17 of his 23 points in the 4th quarter to close it out. Dallas was shorthanded, but Flagg’s energy and Klay’s veteran shot-making made the difference. Is Flagg already ahead of schedule? #NBA #Mavs #CooperFlagg #KlayThompson #Clippers #RookieWatch #NBATalk 60Share
