Doncic is shooting 3/10 in this half, however, he does have 7 assists. The bigger surprise has been his shocking free throw shooting, with Doncic currently 4/10 from the free-throw line.
Porzingis is pushing the pace and one of the few efficient scorers in this game. He is on 12 points and may have to take the leadership role in this game with a misfiring Doncic.
Kawhi Leonard has been running riot on the Mavs, already having scored over 20 points in this game. Paul George is having another hard day scoring, having missed 8 of his 10 attempts.
