"Them calling a bunch of fouls throughout the game, so switching up the game plan, things that you want to do, you can't do. "It disrupted our team play," said Barnes, who followed up his 25-point game in Boston with 17 points against Dallas. The two have been roommates at past international events, and Dragic has served as a mentor for Doncic.ĭoncic not only led all scorers, but his play also forced Anunoby and Barnes into foul trouble and limited playing time in the second half when they each reached five personal fouls.ĭoncic's threat also opened up some floor space for backcourt mate Tim Hardaway Jr., who drained 7-of-11 three-point attempts in his 25-point outing. The talented 22-year-old Slovenian was the 2018-19 NBA rookie of the year and a league all-star the past two seasons.ĭoncic played on the Slovenian national team with Raptors guard Goran Dragic. "He torches people coming off the ball screen, hitting the weak-side guy, scoring, getting to the basket, being able just to get a lot of attention being able to do so many different things." "He can do so many things with the ball, with the ball in his hands, and he just makes things happen," Barnes added. OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet received most of the work guarding the Mavericks sharpshooter. "He's a pretty good player," said Raptors rookie Scottie Barnes, who sometimes found himself defending Doncic. Doncic scored 16 of his 27 points in the second half to wipe out the good vibrations from the Raptors' start, and those carried over from the win in Boston against the Celtics on Friday.
