After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Celtics 102-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
