It was an epic duel.

It was.

It was a good game.

Con Canipple made those two free throws, like I said, with about four seconds left for a career-high 34 points as the Charlotte Hornets stayed hot to beat the Dallas Mavericks, 123-121, spoiling Cooper flags.

49-point masterpiece.

This guy just turned 19 years old and he broke the NBA record for points in a game by a teen and Knipple hit eight three-pointers to set a record for the Hornets franchise.

So our two guys here, Tass, our two favorites for ROI, living up to the hype.

What a game.

I did see, according to ESPN Research, their combined 83 points, Cooper Flagg, Connipa last night, the most by a pair of rookies in a game since Tiny Archibald and Pete Maravich.

Tiny and Pete went for 91 in 1971 as rooks, so...

Yeah, it's there.

It's in the running here.

It lived up to the hype.

This was the fun, right?

The anticipation of this game.

A late January game between two teams who are still below .500.

but they put on a show.

Yeah, the Hornets broadcast with Eric Collins, of course, on the call was amazing on the Cooper flag three to tie the game up.

Because, you know, Cooper had at that point, obviously, 46 points having a monster game.

And Eric Collins is like, we'll live with the three.
