After Action Report
The Suns edged the Celtics 117-111 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Celtics 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.
What tipped it
