After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics took care of the Suns 121-110. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
