Every Phoenix Suns ranked from dominant win over the Los Angeles Clippers (4-7)
7. Deandre Ayton
Solid performance but not necessarily at the heights of his previous two games. 13 points and eight rebounds on 6-for-11 from the floor for Ayton, but he also had an uncharacteristic four turnovers. Got himself into a little bit of foul trouble again which is becoming somewhat of a consistent theme.
6. Mikal Bridges
Offensively very quiet but that’s because he seemed focused on his role defensively. Bridges was perhaps the biggest factor to the Suns defensive display, blanketing Clippers star Paul George to just 16 points on 4-for-11 shooting.
The 26-year-old reaffirmed himself as one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, with the Suns having given up 35 and 40 points to Luka Doncic and Damian Lillard respectively.
5. Torrey Craig
Easily his best game of the season and really typified the Suns performance overall. Craig understood his role and orchestrated it to perfection, providing the hustle plays that are so invaluable to winning.
He was left wide open on a number of corner threes, finishing 2-for-5 from deep. However, he also did a terrific job of giving up a couple of open looks and passing it out for better shots. Nine rebounds to go with his eight points, including three on the offensive glass.
4. Chris Paul
Pretty good game for a guy that went 3-for-11 from the field and 1-for-8 from three-point range. Did everything else at a high level, including 11 assists, eight rebounds and solid defense. Was a game-high +15 in plus minus, evident of his impact on the game despite the poor shooting.
