Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks suffered a 113-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, marking their second straight defeat. It was also Dallas’ 21st loss of the season, dropping them to 12-21 in what has been a disappointing campaign thus far.

The Golden State Warriors claimed a 126‑116 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in an exciting NBA Christmas Game 2025. The matchup featured an intense star showdown, with Stephen Curry leading the home team’s offense and Cooper Flagg responding for Dallas.

Halfway through the second quarter of the Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, Mavs star Anthony Davis suffered from right groi.

As Irving continues to make an impact away from the NBA, his on-court legacy remains undeniable. He has spent 14 seasons in the league since being selected first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2011 NBA Draft. Irving immediately impressed, earning Rookie of the Year honors in his debut season.

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has known Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg longer than others in the NBA. Flagg attended Curry’s basketball camp back in the day, so Curry knew firsthand how talented Flagg was before the Warriors hosted the Mavericks on Christmas Day.

Stephen Curry scored 23 points and knocked down a key 3-pointer with 3:45 left to help seal it, Jimmy Butler added 14 points, nine assists and nine rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks 126-116.

The former (gosh, that still hurts to say) Dallas Mavericks star gave fans one of his greatest single-game performances of his career: a 60-point, 20-rebound triple-double, the first of its kind in NBA history. And a new Luka meme was unlocked, too, after he hit the unlikely game-tying basket with one second left.

The Dallas Mavericks travel slightly northeast after losing to the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day and are preparing to face the Sacramento Kings on Saturday evening. If the NBA season were to end today, both teams would be outside of the postseason, as the Mavericks are the 11th seed and the Kings are dead last.
