What happened

Dallas earned its first win, beating Indiana 121-105, as Kyrie Irving scored 24 points before fouling out late and passing Mark Aguirre on the scoring list.

Cooper Flagg posted 14 points, five rebounds, six assists and three steals before exiting injured late in the first half, while P.J. Washington added 20 points and 13 boards.
