After Action Report
The Suns handled the Celtics 102-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
