After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns took care of the Celtics 123-109. Suns torched the Celtics on the offensive end. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
