Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton stole all the headlines in their playoff debut on Sunday. Clearly, they could handle the pressure and were ready for the biggest game of their young careers.

The same can’t be said of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who combined for just 31 points on their 99-90 loss. Then again, you don’t see those two having two off games in a row often, so expect them to bounce back in a big way.
