The Celtics have had an easy time in the NBA this season, so when they lose, it becomes a big deal and raises concerns about their ability to win a championship.
It was hard to believe that they had only lost two games in a row.
The Celtics took away valuable lessons from their recent loss in Denver and may have needed to reset. Despite not being perfect or fully developed, they have maintained a consistent mindset all season. In Phoenix, they displayed the resilience that has been a trademark for them and secured a 117-107 comeback win over the Suns.
Jayson Tatum scored 29 points, Jaylen Brown added 27, and the Celtics' bench had one of its best showings this season. After struggling with details in the previous loss to the Nuggets, the Celtics were sharp on both defense and offense. They managed to avoid a three-game losing streak by defeating the Suns 117-107, despite Kevin Durant's 45 points.
