Ugh.
The Suns got blasted once again. Surprised? Neither am I.
The Suns rookies played like rookies: bad when the game was in the balance, then better when the Spurs let off on the gas. Each of Deandre Ayton, Elie Okobo, Mikal Bridges and De’anthony Melton had good moments. Just inconsistent.
Ayton had his toughest game of the season, getting three fouls by the 9:00 mark of the second quarter and basically being checked out the whole game. He finished short of a double double (13 points, 8 rebounds).
Melton played hard but reckless (12 shot attempts — only 3 makes — and 5 fouls in 18 minutes) through three quarters.
