The Celtics snapped their two-game losing streak along with the Suns' two-game winning streak, winning 117-107.
Injuries to primary players occurred on both sides of the ball, as both Devin Booker and Kristpas Porzingus were listed as “out” for the game. It is the fourth game Book has missed since injuring his ankle.
