The Phoenix Suns were able grab Game 3 over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, but Deandre Ayton and his mercurial relationship with Phoenix seemed on display.
During a timeout huddle in the fourth quarter, Ayton appeared to blatantly ignore Chris Paul as Paul offered some words of encouragement. Ayton would ignore Paul twice during the timeout.
