Suns center Deandre Ayton made a fashion statement walking into Staples Center for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.

Ayton’s black t-shirt had a printed photo of teammate Devin Booker after his nose was bloodied by Patrick Beverley during Game 2.

Ayton has been seen wearing a similar shirt of former Suns point guard Steve Nash when he played through a broken nose.

The center also rocked layers of his signature necklaces heading into the stadium.

Most importantly, the shirt represents an attitude of toughness that Phoenix needed to pull off a road win in Los Angeles.

The Suns won the contest 84-80 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead and are now one win away from their first trip to the NBA Finals since 1993.

Ayton scored 19 points and added 22 rebounds in the win.

Phoenix will look to punch a ticket to the NBA Finals with a win in Game 5 at home on Monday night.

Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

Catch all the action on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station.
