After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Suns 92-74. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
