A HEROES' WELCOME

Suns say thank you to healthcare workers as their first fans in 336 days

The crowd at Phoenix Suns Arena erupted when Devin Booker buried a pull-up jumper with less than a minute to play, all but sealing Sunday’s win over the Boston Celtics.

But the most sustained applause occurred during a first-quarter timeout, when public-address announcer Vince Marotta asked healthcare heroes to stand and be recognized for their efforts during an unfathomably challenging year.

The Suns on Sunday afternoon welcomed a limited number of fans to their transformed home for the first time in 336 days.
