Coming from a 22-point, 10-rebound outing in his first game with the Bahamas National Team, we all knew things were going to be tougher for Phoenix Suns big man Deandre Ayton going from Cuba to Argentina as their opponent. Only here’s the thing: he was even better in the second game.
As has been the case in many Ayton games we’ve seen, it started with his team trying to involve him early on offense. DA was up to the challenge, scoring 10 points (4-7 FG) in the first quarter, including eight of the Bahamas’ first 13.
