After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns edged the Celtics 112-103. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it
