But in the end, it was Royce O'Neal who hit a go-ahead three-pointer with only 1.7 seconds left, giving the shorthanded Suns the much-needed win after losing seven of their previous 10.

Now, to add insult to injury, Dave McMenamin of ESPN wrote a long-form article this week about DeAndre Ayton exploring the ups and downs of the Dominayton experience in L.A.,

The article featured several great anecdotes, including a story from this year about Aiton pulling off a Willy Wonka-style pratfall into a somersault before a game against the Hawks just to do it, just having some fun.

We also found out about the Lakers' training staff wrapping Aiton's water bottle in tape on which they write, "'DA's Crunk Juice.

Drink this to unleash the beast.'"

I mean, based on him pulling off that Willy Wonka move, my read on it is that he seems to be cool with it.

This is kind of his thing.

Maybe.

There was also an anecdote after the Magic game where Aiton was yelling in the locker room for all to hear, quote, they're trying to make me Clint Capella.

I'm not no Clint Capella.

Now, Clint Capella actually responded to this on Instagram.

Yes, he did.

Saying, quote, you got two of the best floor generals in the game, my dog.

Lock in.

Woo!

Crying, laughing emoji.

Crying, laughing emoji.

In that loss to Phoenix, Aiton finished with two points and four rebounds in 23 minutes.

Finally, a few quick pieces of news.

James Harden suffered a non-displaced fracture in his right thumb, but he plans to play through the injury.
