Deandre Ayton delivered an excellent performance with his efficiency in the Los Angeles Lakers' blowout win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
Ayton is going through the eighth season of his NBA career, his first with the Lakers. He has made solid strides at finishing off plays that Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves create for him. This has allowed him to become more effective in the attack.
Ayton shined with the chances he got against Toronto's defense. Throughout 33 minutes of action, he finished with a stat line of 25 points, 13 rebounds, one assist, and a block. He shot a perfect 10-of-10 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line.
His performance stands out as unique in this ongoing season, per StatMuse. He became the first player to pull off a stat line of 25 or more points and 10 or more rebounds on 100% shooting accuracy.
