Key Points:
- The Phoenix Suns suffered a 97-81 loss to the Boston Celtics, marking their seventh defeat in the last ten games amid key injuries to Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks, and Jordan Goodwin.
- Despite the Celtics missing stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, the Suns struggled significantly, particularly offensively, scoring only 16 points over nearly 19 minutes in the second and third quarters.
- Jalen Green's offensive struggles and Mark Williams' defensive decline have raised concerns about the Suns' depth and ability to compete without their injured starters.
- Coach Jordan Ott emphasized the necessity of winning possession battles in the absence of Booker and Brooks and hinted at potential lineup adjustments, including increased roles for other players or a three-center rotation
