On Thursday night, the Boston Celtics showcased their оffensive prowess as Jaylen Brown scored 37 points and Jayson Tatum added 26, leading the team to a comfortable 127-112 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Al Horford played a crucial role in the win, contributing 24 points, including six of the team’s 25 made three-pointers, tying a season-high. With this victory, the Celtics now hold the best record in the NBA at 52-14.
Devin Booker led the Suns with 23 points, while Bradley Beal recorded 22 points and seven assists. Grayson Allen and Kevin Durant also contributed with 20 points each. Despite Durant’s impressive 45-point performance, the Suns couldn’t overcome the Celtics in their recent matchup due to Booker’s absence due to ιnjury.
In an interesting twist, Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was present in the United States of America to witness the Boston Celtics’ triumph over the Phoenix Suns. Saka, who is in the US following Arsenal’s qualification for the Champions League quarterfinals, exchanged jerseys with Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, both sporting the number seven.
With Arsenal having no game this weekend before the international break, Saka took the opportunity to support the Celtics and enjoy some basketball action in the United States.
