An ugly offensive showing cost the Boston Celtics on Friday night, as they fell to the Phoenix Suns, losing 106-94. It was Boston’s third-lowest scoring game of the season.
It was an extremely slow start for the Celtics, who put up just 20 points in the first quarter - their lowest total in the starting period all season. They held the Suns to just 24, but Phoenix quickly picked up the pace, outscoring Boston 33-24 in the second.
Boston failed to find any sort of rhythm on the offensive end, shooting just 15-of-40 from the field and 6-of-21 from distance in the first half.
