After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Celtics handled the Suns 118-101. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
