What Happened
The Boston Celtics secured a decisive victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night, winning 97-81. Despite a slow start, the Celtics overcame an 11-point deficit to lead by as many as 28 points during the game. Derrick White led the Celtics with a game-high 22 points, along with eight rebounds and eight assists. Sam Hauser contributed significantly with 16 points, including 13 in a dominant third quarter where the Celtics outscored the Suns 30-11.
Why It Matters
This victory marks the Celtics’ fourth consecutive win and improves their record to 38-19, solidifying their position as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics have now won nine of their last ten games and are 3-0 on their current West Coast road trip. The absence of star player Jaylen Brown, who missed the game due to a right knee contusion, did not hinder the team’s performance, showcasing their depth and resilience.
What’s Next
The Celtics will conclude their road trip with a game against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, the Suns, who were missing key players including Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks due to injuries, will need to regroup as they continue to face challenges in their lineup.
