After two solid performances off the bench, De’Anthony Melton received his first-career start as the Phoenix Suns tipped-off against the Miami Heat.
“It felt good, but after they called my name it’s just another game,” Melton said. “So I just go out there and play my game and do what I do.”
The Suns started the past two games slowly, but came out firing as Trevor Ariza opened up the game with two straight three-pointers. The team built off his momentum as they scored 36 points in just the first quarter and took a two-point lead into the break.
