Sunday night was a tough loss for fans of the Boston Celtics, but luckily the team didn’t have much time to sulk. They had business to take care of Monday night in the Grand Canyon state.
And take care of business they did.
Following Sunday night’s buzzer-beating miss from Marcus Smart that rimmed out after resting on the rim for what felt like forever against the Sacramento Kings, the Celtics didn’t let the game boil down to the closing seconds.
Instead, the team won the rebounding and turnover battles, ultimately leading to an easy 99-85 victory in Phoenix against the fading Suns.
