Deandre "I looked in the mirror" Ayton finishes with 7 points and 16 rebounds with a 7/16/1/0/1 statline that belies his dominance this game

Ayton was DominAyton the whole game. Completely shut off Sengun in 1v1 isolation, gobbled up every board in his vicinity and held the Rockets to only 8 offensive rebounds, and his rimrunning game opened up shots for the flamethrower Hachimura and other defense-collapsing actions. I remember one play where the defense collapsed on him in the paint, so he threaded a pass to Hachimura in the corner who instantly sniped the 3.
