Mavs rookie Sergio de Larrea offers eye-opening performance on a night without Flagg, Irving

The home fans didn't see the dynamic duo on opening night, but they got a promising show from the 20-year-old rookie.

On a night with no Cooper Flagg or Kyrie Irving, Mavericks fans at the home opener were instead treated to the NBA coming-out party of Mavericks rookie Sergio de Larrea. 👀🔥 More from @townbrad on the big night for the 20-year-old Spaniard ⬇️ #MFFL 🔗: dallasnews.com/sports/maveri…

I told Sergio de Larrea that he didn't seem particularly surprised by scoring 21 points tonight. He smiled. "No, yes, I am. I am, for sure. It's my first time scoring this points. Last two games, it was different." In Mavs' first two games, he scored zero points and took 2 shots.

Now he has 21. Mind you before tonight, he'd attempted 2 shots in 2 NBA games, missing both.

😂😂😂 Was just about to type the same. @espn can't quit him either. NBA com and cbssports have it correctly.

Forty-six of Dallas’ 60 first-half points occurred in the paint tonight. According to @Elias, the 46 paint points are the most the Mavericks have scored in a single half in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98). The previous most was 44 (3 times).

Not sure how the Mavs landed the one and only and legendary Red Panda for their home opener.

4th foul on Gafford. Putting him back in backfired, but I'm sure Dusty May felt the game starting to slip away.

The Mavericks have feasted on floaters all night. 42 of their 49 points have come inside the paint.

Back in the fold? @swish41 gets an ovation when he and his family are shown in a suite. Dirk also was a notable presence in the season-opening celebration at Halperin Park in Oak Cliff on Monday.

A lot of Mavs fans probably showed up tonight thinking they'd been short-changed -- no Flagg and no Irving. But guess what? So far the Mavs are giving a pretty good home-opening show, leading the Spurs 49-43 while shooting 64%.

3 fouls on Gafford -- in 4 minutes of court time. Dusty May is challenging the call.
