After Action Report
In Boston, the Suns survived the Celtics 124-123 in overtime. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
