The Suns returned home on Tuesday night as they tipped off against the Indiana Pacers at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
Deandre Ayton went into the matchup just two rebounds shy of 200 for his short career. It didn’t take long for Ayton to reach this mark as he joined Blake Griffin, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O’Neal as the only players to score 300 points and grab 200 rebounds in their first 20 games since 1992.
By halftime, Ayton already had 14 points and seven rebounds and looked well on his way to his 12th double-double of the season.
