*tied career-high in steals*

*averaging 27.5 PPG/4.0 RPG/3.5 APG/1.3 SPG/50.6% FG/65.9% 2-PT/34.2% 3-PT/77.3% FT/58.9% eFG/+10 +/- over the last four games*

(via Phoenix Suns):

“I think the game’s slowing down for him right now. He’s understanding he can use his speed to create an advantage, but once he gets inside the paint, he’s using his body well right now coming to hard stops and knocking down the mid-range shot. So, he’s getting better each game. I’m proud of him, happy he’s healthy, and we’ll be back at it tomorrow.”
