After 10 games, three lineup changes and an ankle sprain, the highly anticipated breakout game for Deandre Ayton came Thursday in Madison Square Garden.
The goal posts moved quickly for Ayton from the time he helped lead the Suns to a blowout over Sacramento to when he returned from a 25-game suspension to when he ultimately returned to the starting center spot against the Knicks. These are the breaks for a recent No. 1 overall pick on a team with hopes of a playoff berth.
In putting together the first 20-20 game of his two-year career, Ayton did not bust out any new tricks or go outside his comfort zone.
