After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Celtics handled the Suns 103-90. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
