In the absence of Devin Booker, the Phoenix Suns struggled to overcome the top-seeded Boston Celtics, resulting in a loss with a final score of 117-107.
From the 1st quarter onwards, the Suns were consistently trailing, unable to gain the upper hand.
Their comeback efforts were thwarted by poor shooting from the three-point line and a number of turnovers.
Notably, Grayson Allen, who had previously made 8 three-pointers in consecutive games, failed to replicate his success, going 0-4 from beyond the arc and finishing with just 7 points and three turnovers. Royce O’Neale also had a difficult night, shooting 1-9 overall, including missing five of his three-point attempts.
