After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Celtics 108-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 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. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it

- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
