Could Suns' collapse have been Chris Paul's last shot at title?

Plays 17 minutes in Game 7 beatdown Ayton ended Sunday's 123-90 loss to the Mavericks in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 17...

Impact Foul trouble was mostly to blame for Ayton's low minute total, as he picked up his third personal with just under four minutes to play in the second quarter. When Ayton exited, Phoenix trailed by 18 points, but by halftime the Mavs' lead ballooned to 30. With the Suns looking for any sort of offensive spark, Ayton sat for much of the second half before it became clear that the game was out of reach and Monty Williams dipped deeper into his bench. This was easily Ayton's worst statistical effort of the postseason. The big man had found success earlier in the series, averaging 17.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and shooting 59.5 percent from the field in Games 1 through 6. After he and the Suns failed to agree on a contract extension prior to the season, Ayton will head into the summer as a restricted free agent. As such, Phoenix will have the right to match any offer Ayton receives, but it remains unclear just how much the Suns, and owner Robert Sarver, will be willing to pay for the No. 1 overall pick in 2018.

Near double-double in win Ayton put up 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in the 110-80 win over Dallas on Tuesday.

Impact Ayton saw just 22 minutes after picking up two quick fouls in the first half but was still one rebound shy of his third straight double-double of the series and fourth of the postseason. The fourth-year center will look to help Phoenix close out the series on Thursday.

Suns blast Mavs in Game 5, inch closer to West Finals

Double-doubles in loss Ayton ended Sunday's 111-101 loss to the Mavericks with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 33 minutes.

Impact Ayton registered a double-double for a second consecutive contest but has failed to top 20 points since pouring in 25 during Game 1. He's been a steady producer throughout the series, except for Game 2 when he faced foul trouble. The talented big man has a favorable matchup against the Mavericks frontcourt and will look to take full advantage when the series shifts back to Phoenix on Tuesday.

Second double-double of playoffs Ayton closed Friday's 103-94 loss to the Mavericks with 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-4 FT) and 11 rebounds over 33 minutes.

Impact Ayton left his mark on both ends of the court and bounced back from an awful showing, as he only ended with nine points and three rebounds in Game 2. It's worth noting he has scored 15-plus points in six of his last seven postseason appearances.
