Cooper Flagg breaks his own teen scoring record with 51 in loss to Orlando
Cooper Flagg made the free throw, finishing with 51 points on 19-of-30 shooting in the 138-127 loss to the Magic. That broke his record for most points by an NBA teenager, which he set Jan. 29 when he scored 49 points in a home loss to the Charlotte Hornets and his former Duke roommate and primary Rookie of the Year competition Kon Knueppel.
"It's always fun getting into that type of mode," said Flagg, who scored 24 of his 51 in the fourth quarter. "The basket feels big. Your teammates are looking out for you, helping you out.
But I love to win, so that was my main focus. It's hard for me to fully enjoy myself out there when we're down 20, down 10, down 15 for the majority of the game. " ESPN This article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Cooper Flagg breaks his own teen scoring record with 51 in loss to Orlando
