After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns rolled past the Celtics 122-90. Suns torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
