In the past week, Boston defeated the Phoenix team competing without Booker (ankle) during a double-digit triumph away from home, despite Kevin Durant notching 45 points that night.

Kevin began the rematch strong. But Devin began slowly before finishing 9 of 20 from the field. In the meantime, the All-Star duo of Tatum and Brown combined for 43 of Boston’s 65 1^st half points.

The Celtics outscored the Suns in each of the 1^st 3 quarters and only lost the 4^th by 2 points when the game was already decided and bench players were on the court.

Phoenix will play against the Hornets in Charlotte on Friday, while Boston will face Wizards in Washington on Sunday.
