After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Suns 101-95. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
