After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Celtics 125-100. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Suns. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
