Luka Doncic thinks it's just tough to play against Rudy Gobert

Gobert ended the game with 22 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assist and 5 blocks

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic talks with the media about Rudy Gobert after the road loss against the Utah Jazz.

“I thought I had like three open layups and he came by and I didn’t’ see him coming at all,” Dallas star Luka Doncic said. “He’s just tough to play against.”

Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said that the french big man will win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year for the third time in a row.

He’s probably going to be the Defensive Player of the Year again,” the coach said. “He impacts the game massively at the defensive end. He doesn’t just do it around the basket, he does it on the perimeter too on switches. … Look, he’s a great, great defensive player.”

Gobert ended the game with 22 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assist and 5 blocks, shooting 8/8 from the field and 6/9 from the foul line.
