After Action Report

The Celtics blew the doors off the Suns 119-92. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
