After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Suns 127-126 in overtime. Celtics torched the Suns on the offensive end. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it

- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
