Ball scored 22 points and recorded nine assists, three rebounds and two steals. He was undoubtedly the best player on the court and is deservedly earning a lot of praise.
What the T-Wolves superstar is also being hailed for is the way he got the better of Cooper Flagg when they faced each other in one-on-one situations.
NBA fans react to LaMelo Ball ‘frying’ Cooper Flagg
The NBA’s official X account posted a small compilation of Ball getting the better of Flagg during the Minnesota Timberwolves’ win over the Dallas Mavericks.
The video showed three instances where Ball got the better of the Mavs star, so much so that the NBA captioned their tweet: “LaMelo frying Cooper Flagg.”
Unsurprisingly, that has sparked a reaction on social media, with some claiming that Ball embarrassed Flagg, while others believe it was just good play all-round, with the former coming out on top.
One fan tweeted: “LaMelo had him guessing the whole way on that one. Tough possession for Flagg.”
Another wrote: “Not going to lie, he is, but these are all tough shots. So Cooper ain’t doing too bad.”
“LaMelo was NOT playing around! Cooper Flagg just got a front-row lesson in NBA-level sauce,” said another.
Another fan reacted by saying: “Looked like pretty decent defence with an incredible finish from Melo.”
“LaMelo Ball cooks Cooper Flagg,” wrote another.
Flagg’s defending wasn’t awful by any means, but he will be the first to admit that he could’ve done better to stop Ball.
The Mavs star only managed 12 points against the Timberwolves, which is far below his usual level. He will be disappointed with his display, but there’s still a lot to come from him.
As for the Wolves, five straight wins without Anthony Edwards is a remarkable run. If they keep this going until he’s back, they will become one of the favourites to go all the way.
