Normally shooting the same two games in a row isn't super noteworthy, but 80% is a crazy rate especially in the playoffs, and I thought it was funny since there's an "Eight-Ten"/"Ayton" pun to be made.
As far as I could find, he's shot 8-10 twice before this:

The kid is shooting 70% for the playoffs, im not even surprised anymore.
Dude might be the most perfect non superstar big out there
He’s like 8.5/10 on every metric
Shooting 71% in the postseason so far, the most efficient postseason in NBA history by 9%, granted he doesn’t take shots nearly as difficult as Book or CP3 do since he’s the tertiary scoring option but still, love to see him do so well.
Best 3rd option in a playoff run in NBA history?
The 17-19 warriors have the best 3rd option in NBA history; Klay, who sometimes put Steph's shooting to shame by how hot he can get with A level defence
God that team was stacked
The greatest team ever assembled; should have three peated but eeh injuries happen. They played the most beautiful brand of basketball I've ever seen, with the ball movement, defence, and sheer shooting is something I don't think will ever happen again, even by this iteration of the nets
It's certainly big but if suns win I think DA in conversation. He also got the points with A defense, but his A defense is as anchor inside against the big guys. Klay isn't a big
Conversation yes, I think hell end up being better then Klay as an overall player, but by then hell probably be a 1 or 2, speaking as of now Klay can just do more, play the perimeter, shoot the lights out, playmake a little, simply the best 3 and D player I've ever seen, brother dropped 60 in 30 minutes with 2 MVPs on the floor that's insane
So impressed by this kids willingness to play his role. Definitely a winning player.
This is mildly interesting. Hm.
Why isn't he shooting 100 times a game?
80 FGM in a game would be fantastic!
Turn down the fatigue sliders, turn substitutions to 'Manual' and let Ayton play the whole game.
