The Suns needed someone to step up against the Hawks with Devin Booker out (ankle) and T.J. Warren didn’t seem to hesitate.
Coming into the game, Warren had been averaging 17.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and a block in the 15 games since the All-Star break. He upped all of those categories against the Hawks with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
The 23-year-old small forward is averaging career-highs across the board this season and is living up to his nickname “Tony Buckets.”
