After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Suns 119-97. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
