What a change of pace game, right? All the sudden, after the Suns were the ones getting consistently blown out, this time they handed it to Boston. Right away, Phoenix pounced on the first opportunity they could and didn’t let up. It also helps when the Celtics, outside of Kyrie Irving, can’t buy a shot.
At halftime alone, Boston was shooting a disgustingly low 21.7% from the floor. Meanwhile, Phoenix shivered around 50% most of the night with their blender system out in full force, racking up assists at a high rate with free ball movement.
