Records continued to be broken last night. Against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Deandre Ayton was a hit, breaking his career high with 35 points. The pivot of the Phoenix Suns allowed his franchise to win (125-116) against the “Wolves” who are aiming for 6th place in the Western Conference and direct qualification for the playoffs without going through the play-in.
