I thought for sure we would have heard about how bad Booker wants out by now. Devin scoring just 20 points is the worst thing I can find on the boxscore next to Cam Johnson going 2-9 from 3. You can't fault Cam's off shooting night much when he has the highest plus/minus by a huge margin though with a +36. Rubio was 2nd with a +20.

Cam has proven to be much more than just a shooter in the bubble though so I'm not worried about his 3pt% from game to game. He'll get hot and it'll all even out.

Plus the spacing Cam provides (teams respect his shot even when he is missing) opens everything up for everyone else.

This is insane. I can't believe how well they are playing! It is so nice to be this excited about the Suns again.

The D-backs and Mercury also won today. The D-backs with a come-from-behind victory in the 9th inning.

This is the second time in the past week that my three hometown favorites have won in one day.

Next opportunity will be Saturday.

I definitely think it’s an intelligent decision to piss off one of the best scorers in the Bubble.

I mean, it kind of worked (quick fouls), until it didn't. (Book goes off, talks more end of game) Good times!

Mikal's defense is a big part of it. Teams seem to have to alter their entire offense based upon who he is guarding. He is disruptive on so many levels.

Lots of accolades to go around but Cam Payne is the primary reason the Suns are winning. Backup point guard has been a black hole all season. His PER off the bench is 20.51.
