Suns' Marquese Chriss: Scores game-high 24 in Tuesday's loss

Chriss scored 24 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT) while adding seven rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 loss to the Heat.

Analysis:

The minutes were a career high for the 19-year-old rookie, while the scoring effort was his best since he dropped 27 on the Bucks in early February. Chriss is putting together a solid month of March, averaging 13.1 points, 5.6 boards, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.9 blocks and 0.9 steals and giving a glimpse of the multi-category producer he could develop into down the road.
