In another NBA regular season game of the 2025/26 season, the Dallas Mavericks narrowly defeated the Sacramento Kings 100-98, thanks to contributions from Cooper Flagg, Anthony Davis, and Brandon Williams. Jason Kidd stated that the players didn't play at their best, but praised Brandon Williams' offensive ability for helping the team regain their momentum.

Throughout the game, the Sacramento Kings maintained a lead for the first three quarters, but in the final moments of the fourth quarter, Cooper Flagg assisted Brandon Williams to sink a three-pointer, ultimately giving the Dallas Mavericks a last-second victory on the road against the Sacramento Kings.

According to the data, Cooper Flagg scored 20 points and 6 assists for the Dallas Mavericks in this game, Anthony Davis contributed 19 points and 2 assists, and Brandon Williams contributed 18 points and 2 assists.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said, "Brandon Williams is very crucial to us, not just for that shot, but for his ability to get the entire offense going. He gets us moving again."

"We didn't play our best in this game, but we still found a way to win in an ugly and close game. Actually, we've been through this before with clutch shooting and close games. We narrowed the gap to 3 points in the third quarter, and we discussed what we needed to do better during halftime, and then we started to really play like a team."

Jason Kidd said, "Cooper Flagg showed his fighting spirit and returned to the court, and his offensive contributions in crucial moments were very important to us. Anthony Davis got some good opportunities on offense, was also very helpful on defense, and was equally good on the boards."

“We try to disrupt their offense. Last time we came here, they were shooting three-pointers very well, so this time we are consciously preventing them from getting easy shots from the outside.”

In addition, Jason Kidd said, "This shows the attitude and fighting spirit in the locker room. Even when we are at a disadvantage, we still do our best and try to get back into the competition."
