The Celtics beat the Suns by double digits for the second time in less than a week, rolling to a 127-112 victory.
Here are the takeaways.
1. The Celtics played their third game in four nights against a playoff team in the Western Conference with a ton of talent. Less than 48 hours before tipoff, they were in the Mountain time zone. If they lost to the Suns, a credible case could have been built that it was a schedule loss.
Instead, they blew out the Suns in the fourth quarter, even with Devin Booker back in the lineup after he missed their matchup.
