“I'm just glad we were prepared and we played super physical. We were up to tempo, which, I heard Houston try to call us old or whatever, but we was moving fast. We was moving them puppies, man” – Deandre Ayton pic.twitter.com/Wcx1Fttmi7
“You have to have some type of stop sign where enough is enough. ….So I just tried to play as I am, the biggest dude on the court, and just go out and get every damn rebound” – Deandre Ayton on neutralizing HOU’s rebounding with 43 rebs of his own in the final three games pic.twitter.com/Sv4et70uXc
Only took 6 shots so don’t even care about the points. Show me the effort & the rebounding, the challenge of stopping Sengun 1 on 1 multiple possessions. Ayton deserves his flowers tonight 👏👏👏 Way to show up! pic.twitter.com/JzPMTRvn6N
