My great-grandmother once told me, “If you f-ck around enough, you’ll eventually get f-cked.” And that’s what happened to the Celtics tonight. They played about 12 solid minutes of basketball and the result was a 111-103 loss to the lowly Phoenix Suns.
To compound matters, Aron Baynes fractured his left hand and will miss about a month.
What went right
The Celtics torched Phoenix for 37 points on 70% FG in the 1st quarter. Eight guys scored in the quarter.
Kyrie Irving (29 points, 10-19 FG, 10 assists, 4 steals) was the only guy to bring his A game.
