PHOENIX – When the Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics meet without their headliners, the spotlight doesn’t dim; it shifts. The Suns came in without Devin Booker or Dillon Brooks.
The Boston Celtics continue to roll. Even without Jaylen Brown. Powered by Derrick White's 22 points, the C's grabbed their fourth win in a row by a 97-81 final over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night at Mortgage Matchup Center. They've now won nine of their last 10, and have won every game of their current streak by at least 11 points.
The Boston Celtics released some notable injury news this morning ahead of tonight's matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns are 3-7 in their last 10 games while the Celtics (38-19) improved to 9-1 in their last 10 without Jayson Tatum (right Achilles repair) and Jaylen Brown (right knee contusion). Tatum has missed all season while Brown sat out Tuesday’s game after scoring 32 points in Sunday’s 111-89 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Boston Celtics have their main man Jaylen Brown on the injury list as they prepare to take on a ravaged Suns team.
Derrick White scored 22 points, Neemias Queta had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics used a big third quarter to beat the Phoenix Suns 97-81
