After Action Report
In Boston, the Suns rolled past the Celtics 143-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
