Celtics Extend Streak with Victory Over Suns

The Boston Celtics have extended their winning streak to seven games with a dominant 132-102 victory over the Phoenix Suns, improving their road trip record to 4-0. Despite Jayson Tatum being sidelined with a sprained left ankle, Kristaps Porzingis and Jaylen Brown led the charge, scoring 30 and 24 points, respectively. The Celtics now hold a 54-19 record, solidifying their second-place position in the Eastern Conference, trailing the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Phoenix Suns, with Kevin Durant's 30-point effort, saw their four-game winning streak end, and they remain tied for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. Tatum's injury, suffered in a previous game against the Sacramento Kings, is not expected to sideline him for long, as he was seen working out intensively ahead of the game against the Suns. The Celtics are strategically managing player rest as they approach the playoffs, aiming for back-to-back titles.
