Dallas Mavericks prospect Cooper Flagg just handed Dave Portnoy and his crew a humiliating defeat on Celebrity Family Feud. The final score was a staggering 543 to zero. That is not a close game. That is a total shutout. Flagg and his relatives walked away with the win while playing for The Ronald McDonald House of Dallas.
The matchup happened on Thursday night in Las Vegas. Flagg faced off against Portnoy in the opening round. Flagg lost the first buzzer race but the family team recovered quickly. They capitalized when Portnoy’s team took their third strike. This gave control back to the Flagg family. They stole the round to take an early lead.
The Family Takes Control
Round two saw Flagg’s twin brother Ace and Portnoy’s Ryan both fail to answer. The question went to the bench. Flagg’s brother Hunter provided the better response. His team took control of the board. Portnoy’s crew eventually flamed out with a third strike on a question that would have been bleeped. Host Steve Harvey joked they would not be asked to return. Flagg’s family stole that round too.
Round three featured Hunter against Rico. Both men hit the buzzer this time. Hunter was faster and gave the top response. His team cleared the board without needing a steal. This marked their third straight win in the game. Per Mavs Moneyball, the Flagg family held a stranglehold on the entire contest from that point forward.
A Pizza and Lightsaber Victory
Round four pitted Flagg’s mother Kelly against Kirk. Kirk got to the buzzer first but only had the bottom answer. Kelly took over with her own response. Her team cleared the board again. They proved they know their pizza well. This fourth round gave them the massive 543 to zero lead over Team Portnoy.
The family then played Fast Money. Ace Flagg went first and left some time on the board. He still ripped through five questions for a whopping 151 points. His highlight answer was “lightsaber” regarding how Storm Troopers might prank Darth Vader. The other questions covered workout days, city animals, cereal types, and what to never ask a woman.
This performance shows the Flagg family has serious game. Dave Portnoy’s crew got crushed by a group playing for charity. The Mavericks star did not just participate; he dominated. The score speaks for itself. A zero on the opponent side is rare on this show.
It is a great story for Dallas fans to watch during the summer. The team showed heart and quick thinking. They beat a crew known for loud voices and big personalities. Cooper Flagg proved he can handle pressure outside the basketball court.
