After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Suns 144-114. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
