Dragic bounces back in 2nd game
Just like in his Vegas Summer League performance, Goran Dragic followed a poor first game with a solid second. The Slovenia "Green Wave" rolled over a Serbian team 80-69. The Serbs were fresh off a win over group favorite Spain.
Goran, apparently playing most of his minutes off the ball, recorded 16 points on 5/5 shooting inside the arc and 1/4 beyond. He also grabbed 4 rebounds and had 2 steals, 2 turnovers and no assists in 26 minutes of play.
According to this report he was part of a turning point:
That would be as close as they would get though as Nachbar and substitute Samo Udrih scored the next four points for a 22-15 advantage heading into the second quarter.
Goran Dragic took over at that point, scoring eight of his 10 first-half points to help Slovenia go up 31-17 with just under six minutes left before the break.
The back-up guard hit a long three-pointer and then knocked the ball out of Milan Macvan's hands near midcourt, before going in for an uncontested lay-up. He later used his quickness to knife his way into the defense for another deuce.
If the pattern holds true, Goran will have another good game against Spain tomorrow.

“Suns must not start LB; he will beat us by himself by a hundred points in every game if he starts. Enforcers will have to rough him up.”

I only saw part of the 4th and the OT
So the one layup, and about four free throws, and a lot of pestering his man on defense. From what I saw, he looked pretty confident and speedy.
