The No. 1 pick had several highlight-reel plays during the game, none bigger than the first poster dunk of his career. With just over three minutes remaining in the third quarter, Flagg received a go-ahead pass from D'Angelo Russell in transition. The rookie went full steam toward the rim and rose high to paint a vicious poster on the Raptors' big man Sandro Mamukelashvili.

"He’s unbelievable," Russell said of Flagg's dunk. "He does a little bit of everything, so when he’s getting the crowd going like that, our team feeds off of it. Everybody wants to see him do great, so when he’s performing like that it’s contagious."

The biggest positive for Dallas was Flagg’s explosive performance on Sunday, which helped them snap their winless streak this season. It will be a quick turnaround for the Mavericks as Flagg and Co. are slated to face the defending champion OKC Thunder on the second night of a back-to-back on Monday.
