After Action Report

The Suns squeaked past the Celtics 97-93. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
