Boston’s Blazing Bombardment Torches Suns in Devastating Rout
Phoenix, AZ
The Boston Celtics just turned the desert into their personal furnace, torching the Phoenix Suns 132-102 in a game that felt over before it even began. With Jayson Tatum sidelined, Kristaps Porzingis took the spotlight, dropping a scorching 30 points while Jaylen Brown added 24. The Celtics didn’t just win — they dominated, securing their seventh straight victory in jaw-dropping fashion.
The Suns entered the night riding a four-game win streak, but Boston had other plans. A brutal 27-6 run before halftime left Phoenix gasping for air, trailing 73-54 at the break. By the time the dust settled, the Celtics had knocked down 10 three-pointers in the first quarter alone and led by as many as 34 points in the third. The Suns’ defense, which had been tightening up in recent weeks, looked powerless against Boston’s relentless deep-range assault.
Kevin Durant tried to keep Phoenix afloat, pouring in 30 points on an ultra-efficient 11-for-16 shooting, while Devin Booker contributed 14 points and 10 assists. But with Bradley Beal out nursing a strained hamstring, the Suns lacked the firepower to match Boston’s relentless offensive storm.
If there were any doubts about the Celtics’ title aspirations, they were erased under the bright lights of Footprint Center. Four straight double-digit wins, an unstoppable three-point arsenal, and a defense that smothers opponents like a championship-caliber squad — Boston is looking scary.
As for the Suns, this embarrassing loss comes at the worst possible time. Clinging to the final play-in spot with a grueling schedule ahead, their postseason dreams are walking a razor’s edge. A second game against the Celtics looms, and unless Phoenix finds a way to counter Boston’s aerial attack, another beatdown could be on the horizon.
