The Dallas Mavericks are in a state of transition. After firing general manager Nico Harrison earlier this season, the team’s front office is being restructured to build around rookie #1 pick Cooper Flagg.

Here are three overreactions from this blowout win.

Max Christie scored a season-high 26 points, Cooper Flagg had 18 in his first pro game at Madison Square Garden and the Dallas Mavericks rolled to a 114-97 victory over the New York Knicks.

Cooper Flagg and Naji Marshall scored 11 points apiece during a dominant second quarter Monday for the visiting Dallas Mavericks, who never trailed in a 114-97 rout of the reeling New York Knicks.

Klay Thompson scored all 23 of his points in the first half, including the 17,000th of his career, and six Mavericks scored in double figures in a 138-120 win over Utah on Saturday night as Dallas completed a two-game sweep of the Jazz.

The Dallas Mavericks are getting ready to play the Utah Jazz. Again, you may ask? Yes, again. It's the fourth and final game of the season between these two bad basketball teams, and the third in the last nine days. Utah owns the season lead, 2-1, so this game could have big implications on final draft lottery odds down the line.

The Mavericks were led by a game-high 26 points from Max Christie, while Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns each scored 22 points for the Knicks. Let’s get to the numbers.
