After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Celtics survived the Suns 109-108. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it
