Less than 24 hours after their triple-overtime thriller in Washington D.C., the Phoenix Suns were back the court as they tipped-off against the Brooklyn Nets.
Deandre Ayton started the game the same way he did the night prior, attacking the glass and being aggressive offensively. His teammates found him early and often as the rookie was already in double-digits scoring by the end of the first quarter.
By halftime, he was well on his way to a double-double with a team-high 16 points and eight rebounds.
The Suns went into the break down by seven, but the game looked to still be in reach.
