After Action Report

The Suns pulled away from the Celtics 116-97. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
