Mikal Bridges leads Suns to win over #1 seed Boston Celtics

Despite missing Devin Booker and Cameron Johnson, the Phoenix Suns defeated the number one seed Boston Celtics 106-94.

While the Celtics attempted numerous comebacks, the Suns found a way to shut down any rallies with some extremely timely baskets.

Now, Phoenix is back up to sixth in the Western Conference standings and are only two wins away from being inside the top three.

Tonight’s victory was definitely one of their most impressive wins this entire season considering the Celtics were with all their starters minus Marcus Smart.

Mikal Bridges led the scoring charge with 25 points, his fourth straight night of 20+ points.

Mikal Bridges’ development into a star on-ball creator changes everything.

Dario Saric also had a standout night with 13 boards collected and 14 points off a 4-7 shooting performance from beyond the arc.

It was his first double-double of the season.

Saric was once our sixth man who can rebound, create, facilitate and shoot open spot up threes. He's slowly getting back now. Give him some more time to become consistent

Dario Saric being our best player without Booker has turned into a very pleasant development.
