With Mikal Bridges getting the primary coverage assignment, Phoenix has pressed pause on the hottest August in NBA history, holding T.J. Warren scoreless for nearly seven minutes and jumping out to a quick 13-point lead ...
Update: Warren shakes loose for seven consecutive Pacers points. Suns' lead sliced to five after a quarter as Phoenix chases the 4-0 start no one saw coming.
Update: We're inching toward to the fourth quarter in The T.J. Warren Bowl with Warren having scuffled his way to 16 points and saddled with four fouls ...

Indiana has seized a 72-70 lead regardless over the 3-0 Suns
Update: Cameron Payne's Cinderella Bubble Renaissance continues and the Suns take an 86-75 lead into the fourth quarter ... even though Devin Booker -- for the second time in three games -- racked up five fouls halfway through the third quarter
Update: Don't think I've live-tweeted a Suns game this much, well, ever ... cause the Nash-era glory days were (mostly) pre-Twitter

PS -- Cameron Payne, freshly signed from the @TexasLegends, has 5 more points to start the fourth quarter ... and sneaked in a contest at the rim
Update: @campayne-led Suns have stretched their lead to EIGHTEEN ... all with @DevinBook on the bench

#BubbleRandomness
Update: The Pacers were offended by all these tweets and, just like that, are back within seven. Monty Williams has to bring Devin Booker back with five fouls and 8:08 to go
Update: This game is insanely fun and I will shed actual tears when the league stops using the VISA Center for games after the "seeding" round ends and these ridiculous, turn-back-the-clock seats go away
Last Update cause I tweeted way too much:

Team of The Bubble 114, Indiana (and Hot Hand of The Bubble T.J. Warren) 99

The Suns move to a thoroughly unforeseen 4-0 ... with Book closing AND chirping late at the Indy bench

Warren?

Held to 16 points on 7-for-20 shooting
