After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Celtics 99-96. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
