The article also notes early-season slumps from Klay Thompson and Tim Hardaway Jr., highlighting the Heat’s need for more consistent scoring to support Giannis.
Cooper Flagg returns from a shoulder injury to drop 29 points, including 12 in the fourth, and a clutch layup with 10 seconds left that secures a 113-109 road win for the Dallas Mavericks over the Miami Heat on Oct. 27, 2026.

Rookie two‑way guard Walter Clayton Jr. added a career‑night with 15 points on 6‑of‑7 shooting and four assists in just 17 minutes. Dallas also posted 11 steals and 10 blocks, showcasing a swarming, hustle‑driven defense that helped secure their second win of the season.

Cooper Flagg ignites the Dallas Mavericks with a stellar 29‑point, 15‑assist, 5‑steal performance to lead a 113‑109 road victory over the Miami Heat on Oct. 26, 2026. The win lifts Dallas to 2‑2 while handing Miami its worst start (0‑4) under Erik Spoelstra. Giannis Antetokounmpo posts a triple‑double (29‑15‑11) for the Heat, but Flagg’s clutch shooting and defense, including a decisive late three, secure the Mavericks’ second win of the season. Kyrie Irving adds 18 points and 6 assists, though he struggles from three‑point range (2‑of‑10). Bench contributions from Walter Clayton Jr. and PJ Washington round out the effort.
The Atlanta Hawks fell 120-110 to the Houston Rockets on Oct. 26, failing to score in the fourth quarter after trailing 91-85 entering the final period. CJ McCollum led the Hawks with 15 points at halftime and the team kept its usual starters, but poor three‑point shooting and turnovers let Houston, boosted by the return of Fred VanVleet and a 29‑point performance from Alperen Sengun, seize the lead. Bench contributors like Aaron Wiggins and Kingston Flemings sparked runs, yet the Hawks couldn't sustain momentum. The loss leaves Atlanta heading home to face the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
