Robert Horry Calls Out Luka Doncic Foul Hunting
Merlin sees Robert Horry join the chorus criticizing Luka Dončić for chasing foul calls after the Lakers' 105-101 loss to the Bucks. Horry said Luka "starts hunting" when refs do not give him calls and that "his game is predicated on getting fouls called." Dončić scored 24 points with nine rebounds and nine assists but fouled out with 16 seconds left, and he leads the league with 12.0 free throw attempts per game. For the high school fan, Merlin notes the tradeoff is clear. Hunting fouls pads Luka’s numbers and fuels a 33.3 scoring average, yet it risks key minutes and costly fouls in tight games. With voices like James Worthy criticizing him, expect teams and officials to probe that habit more, while the Lakers tolerate it if it keeps producing wins.
