After Action Report
The Suns demolished the Celtics 140-102. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
