After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns handled the Celtics 105-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
