Tatum has 23, Morris 20 to lift Celtics over Suns 102-94

PHOENIX -- Jayson Tatum scored 23 points, Marcus Morris added 20 in three quarters before leaving with an injury and the Boston Celtics beat the Phoenix Suns 102-94 on Monday night.

Tatum surpassed 1,000 points for the season, and Boston won its fourth straight to move to three games behind the Toronto Raptors for first place in the Eastern Conference.

Morris, a former Sun, re-injured a sprained right ankle that forced him out of the Celtics' game Sunday at Sacramento. He didn't play in the fourth quarter.
