Wizards Overcome Flagg's Heroics, Defeat Mavericks 117-107

In a closely contested NBA matchup on October 23rd, 2025, the Washington Wizards emerged victorious over the Dallas Mavericks, winning 117-107. The star of the night was Kyshawn George, who scored a career-high 34 points for the Wizards.

The Mavericks, led by their highly anticipated rookie Cooper Flagg, made a strong comeback in the second half after trailing by as much as 17 points. Flagg scored nine consecutive points in the fourth quarter, showcasing his impressive scoring ability. However, the Mavericks' rally ultimately fell short as they struggled with turnovers, finishing the game with 21 giveaways.

Anthony Davis, the Mavericks' key offseason acquisition, had another rough outing, scoring 27 points but missing crucial free throws in the final minutes that could have brought the Mavs within two points. The Wizards' defense was able to capitalize on Davis' struggles and Flagg's turnovers to secure the victory.

Rookie Tre Johnson, the former Texas Longhorn and sixth overall pick, also made a significant contribution for the Wizards, scoring 10 of his 17 points in the second quarter.

The Wizards' win drops the Mavericks to 0-2 on the season, while the Wizards improve to 1-1. Both teams will look to bounce back in their upcoming games, with the Wizards hosting the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday and the Mavericks facing the Toronto Raptors, also on Sunday.
