After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Suns 132-107. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
