After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Suns 103-81. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
