Suns' Tyson Chandler: Hauls in 18 boards in win

Chandler accrued six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one block and one assist across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 118-115 overtime win over the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

Both of the Suns' primary centers were able to turn in productive efforts in the win, with Chandler doing most of his damage on the glass and Alex Len (18 points in 21 points) providing more impact on the offensive end. Even on the downswing of his career, Chandler is still a highly productive per-minute rebounder, but he doesn't quite offer as much impact as a shot blocker like he did during his prime years. After averaging only 0.7 blocks per game in 2015-16, Chandler has collected just two rejections through the Suns' first five games this season.
