The Phoenix Suns won their third in a row tonight by defeating the Brooklyn Nets with a final score of 116–112.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!From start to finish, it was the Deandre Ayton show.
For the first time this season, Ayton has had back-to-back nights of 30+ points and 10+ rebounds.
The Suns’ big man made an impressive 14 baskets on 18 attempts. Additionally, Ayton grabbed 14 boards, giving Phoenix a massive boost in the rebounding department.
Ever since trade talks started popping up, Ayton has been on a different level…
35 and 15 on 14/18 shooting is just absurd from Deandre Ayton. No other way to put it. He’s been playing some incredible basketball lately.
This is what DOMINAYTON looks like.
Bravo, @DeandreAyton. pic.twitter.com/HhVFy97XOT

Deandre Ayton becomes the 4th player in NBA history to have back-to-back games of at least 30 points and 15 rebounds on 75% shooting or better, per @Stathead.

This version of Deandre Ayton is an absolute force. What a game.

While it was by no means his best shooting night, Devin Booker put up 19 points, 4 rebounds, and six assists in his first full night back since December 17th.
Booker played for 38 minutes, which was way above his expected regulated time.
A great sign for Suns fans as the halfway point of the season passes.
Devin Booker is BACK. 🔥

I’m starting to think Devin Booker missing a month+ of basketball was the best thing that could’ve happened to the Suns.

People really forgot Devin Booker is the best shooting guard in the league 🤣

The Suns will look to extend their winning streak to four games on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks.
