After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Celtics edged the Suns 101-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
