The Suns definitely got something in Eric Gordon as he put on a show in the Bahamas’ win against Argentina.

His biggest moments came in the third quarter where he hit two disgusting three-point shots to give the Bahamas team the lead twice late in the 4th quarter.

Deandre Ayton had a stellar game himself as he grabbed 21 rebounds to go along with 10 points. Both the Suns tandem continue to guide their Bahamas team to new heights every game.
Both Ayton and Gordon not only for this game but during the whole run put up great numbers to carry the Bahama’s National Team to be able to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Gold next Summer.

What was mainly a good step for Deandre Ayton was his leadership and defensive tenacity that helped carry the Bahama team in the first two games before Eric Gordon started going crazy. Overall it was a great successful outing for two players the Suns will need to depend on for a championship run.
The Suns season is going to be fun to watch and now with Gordon’s three-point shot and heroics paired with a new and hungry Deandre Ayton, the Suns are primed to look more dangerous than ever.
