Ayton is going to have his hands full with Jokic. He really struggled in their first meeting. Let's see how he adjusts.

Go Suns!!!

Took them 3 1/2 minutes to give him the ball after scoring 24 in the previous quarter.

Why did Ayton get taken out of the game so soon into the 3rd?

I'm glad I had other plans tonight...
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton
