Flagg Shines Again with 45 vs Lakers

Flagg followed up his 51-point outing against Orlando with another impressive display. The rookie sensation has now scored 96 points in his last two games while shooting 57.8% from the field and 53.3% from beyond the arc.

His recent performance makes him the first rookie since Allen Iverson in 1997 to record consecutive 40-point games. As the season winds down, Flagg is locked in a compelling Rookie of the Year race with his former Duke teammate, Kon Knueppel.
