In the NBA regular season, the Mavericks defeated the Raptors 139-129 and won their first victory of the season. After the game, Flagg was interviewed.

Talking about Kidd’s halftime speech about the team’s turnover problem, Flagg said: “Yes, he did mention this issue. This is a situation we have been dealing with, some low-level mistakes that should not have occurred, and we have to be smarter in controlling the ball. To be honest, when we protect the ball and play patiently, we can get a lot of good shots. Opportunities. So the core of his emphasis is to protect the ball, and we will naturally get the shooting opportunities we deserve."

Flagg, who switched to the point guard position, performed very well in this game. He played 29 minutes, making 8 of 14 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a new high of 22 points, plus 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, and 0 turnovers.
