Players dunking less?

Just played a game where 3 times I was a step past free throw line and a defender running from 3 was dragged into my back and forced me into a layup that I missed and was given no option to time. He didn’t have above an 85 perimeter or speed since his lowest stat shown was an 85 3 so it’s not as if he is a lock or a speedy guy. I have a 93 dunk and I’ve been seeing those catch up contest animations a LOT so far this season. I tried holding up on stick once and tried flicking stick twice, am I just getting unlucky or are other people noticing this too?
