Hornets announcer Eric Collins cannot be silenced, but Cooper Flagg came as close as anyone has this season when he hit a game-tying three in the final seconds of Thursday night’s game against the Mavericks. Right before Flagg buried one of the biggest shots of his career, Collins dismissively said, “Let him shoot a three. Go for it.”
Then a swish and a scream as Collins was made to eat his own words by the rookie out of Duke. The three-pointer tied the game and gave Flagg a new career high of 49 points, the most ever scored by a teenager in the NBA.
