But they’re playing hard and as a team. Quite a few guys just didn’t have it today(Ayton, Rubio, Mikal) and they grinded out a win. Someone keeps stepping up, today it was Jevon Carter. Booker just doesn’t have bad games anymore either, he’s always on.

I think the suns have actually been the best of these bubble teams, when at full strength, all year(possible exception is Portland) and point differential kinda backs that up. Health and suspensions kinda got in the way.

This bubble team has taken a step forward though. We used to get killed when Booker went to the bench. Finding Cam Payne in the g league and moving Dario to the bench has proven to be big.
