There was some clock drama in the final second, but the Mavericks hang on for a win to open Summer League and Cooper Flagg's career. Flagg and Bronny James both went scoreless in the second half, while Cole Swider led all scorers with 22 points.

This social media dream matchup is the most anticipated game of the 2025 NBA Summer League – the 17,923-seat Thomas & Mack Center is already sold out. According to TickPick, the current “get-in” price for a Thursday Summer League ticket is $83, which jumps to $643 for the lower bowl in the Thomas & Mack, and courtside tickets are going for $2,519.
