After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns snuck past the Celtics 120-116 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
