00:30Welcome courtside here in Boston. I got the Hall of Famer Ann Myers-Drysdale. I'm Kevin Ray. We'll check in
00:35shortly here with Amanda Pflugramp.
00:37Well, it was a tough loss in Toronto. No other way around it, Annie. But some silver linings over the
00:41last three games and it's become abundantly clear.
00:44Jalen Green just needed a little extra time because he is playing that gear.
00:47He really has and he's looking more comfortable. He's being more aggressive. I think the fact, too, he's getting inside.
00:53Last three games, he's taken 23 shots in those three games. And the fact that he's getting the ball in
00:59his hands, he's creating inside.
01:01One thing, he didn't get to the free throw line in Toronto. He got to the free throw line in
01:05Indiana seven times.
01:06So that's a big key. But going 8 of 16 from threes against Toronto was huge.
01:10But just inside, outside and feeling much more comfortable and being aggressive.
01:14The Suns come in facing a Boston team. The Celtics and their fan base all thought that Jason Tatum was
01:19going to be sidelined the entire season.
01:21But he has accelerated the incredible healing powers. Just turning 28.
01:25He comes back almost like a late season trade. You get a multi-time All-Star.
01:29Yeah, coming back from the Achilles surgery from last year in the playoffs, and he wasn't sure coming back.
01:37I mean, he doubted himself, but he's worked so hard. And, you know, in the four games, he's been back.
01:42He's had two double-doubles. And, you know, he just hits the boards. Not only scores for them, but he
01:47does so many other things at 6-8 from that wing position.
01:49Yeah, he comes in plus 34 with his minutes on the floor.
01:52So not showing a whole lot of rust making his return to action here in mid-March, where the games
01:58mean the most.
01:59Despite a little playing time early, Suns working with Scheer Fleming kept his head down and put in the work.
02:04Now all that work is showing up in key stretches during critical games here in March.
02:07His demeanor may be quiet, but his game screams absolute athletic freak, who is making opponents sit up and take
02:13notice.
02:14With his jaw-dropping, highlight reel-worthy plays, we'll see what he has in store with the fans here in
02:19Boston tonight.
02:19Suns and Celtics tipping off your Monday next here on Arizona's Family Sports.
02:24Season for the Celtics, but then Tatum comes back.
02:28They traded Holiday and Porzingis, so everything kind of changed when Tatum came back.
02:34And you got Derrick White and still have Brown, Pritchard, and Hauser.
02:38Again, nobody gave them a chance to even be competitive in terms of top five.
02:43Absolutely. Derrick White has just been amazing for them.
02:46I didn't think he was that good when he left San Antonio.
02:48Pritchard has been terrific for them.
02:50And Hauser, I mean, they got guys that can shoot, but now with Vucevic coming in there, Harden,
02:55and, you know, you mentioned Keanu Ellis for Schroeder, I like, too.
02:58So I like, I like, well, now I went to, I switched up, I went to Cleveland.
03:02That's okay, you let into it.
03:03It's called the Segway.
03:04Let's let into the next one.
03:04It's the Hornito Segway.
03:05Oh, here we go.
03:06Sponsored by Tom Chambers.
03:07T.C.'s Final Four in the East.
03:08I told you I had a little break.
03:09And Boston has been boosted by that return of Tatum.
03:12There's your Final Four.
03:13Well, you know, Detroit has been really, really good all year long, but, you know,
03:16one thing I don't give a whole lot of credit to is teams that are doing it for the first
03:19time,
03:19and they're all inexperienced.
03:21I believe they're good.
03:22I believe they'll put up a fight.
03:23I think Cleveland will win that.
03:25Boston down below.
03:26New York's really good, too, but Boston will come out of there.
03:28And I think it's going to be Cleveland and Boston with Harden and the boys.
03:32Mm, FanDuel Final Four odds in the NCAA tournament.
03:36Duke, number one, followed by Arizona, Michigan, and Florida.
03:39That's good news for Grayson and Man-Man.
03:41Is it?
03:42Dukies.
03:42Uh-uh.
03:42I like your Final Four.

04:04You do you at Gila River Resorts and Casinos.
04:1155-degree evening here in downtown Boston.
04:14And we welcome the Inside TV Garden.
04:16It gets you counting down for the Suns and the Celtics.
04:19Let's take a look at our Herobred starting lineups for the first time.
04:22The Celtics coming in 44-23.
04:2522-10 here on their home four.
04:27Led by Derek White, Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum.
04:29Back, Sam Hauser, and Nimas Kata.
04:31For the Suns, it'll be Connie Gillespie.
04:33The five-time All-Star, Devin Booker.
04:34Jalen Green, Royce O'Neal, and Oso Iguodaro.
04:37Now let's swing it over to Amanda.
04:39Well, Devin Booker has a very close relationship with Jason Tatum.
04:44As the two play together for Team USA.
04:46And now it's Jason back with the Celtics just 10 months after Achievement's surgery.
04:51Booker talked about his return saying, look, that is just who Tatum is.
04:55That's his makeup.
04:56That's his DNA.
04:57That's his approach to everything.
04:59He said he's someone that I've been following for a really long time.
05:02Since Tatum was in the 6th, 7th grade.
05:05And just to see him evolve into a champion and accomplish everything that he has at such a young age.
05:10It's inspiring.
05:12Even though he's a lot younger than me.
05:14He said, I'm just happy to see him back.
05:16Now Booker also said that even when they were without Tatum, the Celtics, they're having a great season.
05:21With Jalen Brown leading the point.
05:23It's a super talented team that plays hard and plays together.
05:28Thank you, Amanda.
05:29Amanda, yeah, I think the one thing, you know, you could be playing for a different team.
05:34But at the end of the day, Annie, you are in the NBA fraternity.
05:37And considering the personal relationships and then the relationship as Amanda noted there with the Olympic roster.
05:45You know, you do kind of have a special relationship with guys.
05:49And Tatum is a guy that's, you know, you just see the amount of work that he's put in to
05:53make the return here.
05:54Yeah, they all know each other.
05:55And a lot of them, this generation, they've all played against each other and with each other in club ball
06:00from the time they're 10, 12 years old.
06:03And certainly playing on USA basketball.
06:05And the Olympics makes a difference.
06:06But, you know, once they're on the court, you've got a different jersey on and you're competing.
06:14Booking the boys ready for a little bounce back here tonight in Boston as we take a look at the
06:18keys of the game.
06:18Brought to you by your Valley Chevy dealers.
06:21Well, you've got to take care of the basketball.
06:23I mean, this is a Boston team that they are number one in steals.
06:26And certainly, I think that, you know, rebounding also, they've got to compete because this is a Celtics team.
06:33They've got three guys that average over eight rebounds and two with seven.
06:36So, as long as they can compete on the board, stay close, they're going to be in this game.
06:40Well, and ultimately, as we've seen throughout the course of this season, it's all about winning the possession battle.
06:45The Suns failed to do that miserably.
06:47They were minus 16 in terms of the possession.
06:50Of course, neither team was even close to full strength that particular night.
06:54But went down as a big win for Boston, all things considered.
06:59The Suns, meanwhile, they're trying to flush out that sour taste of a fourth quarter gone awry in Toronto.
07:04They were about six and a half minutes away from making a five-game win streak.
07:09Yeah, Toronto just got hot, and there was a time there in that fourth quarter that the Suns really could
07:17not get a basket to go down for them.
07:19And certainly, it's a game of runs.
07:21We know that.
07:21But for the Suns, they've got to continue to play that in the fourth quarter.
07:26Should be a good one.
07:27Glad you're a part of it here tonight on Arizona's Family Sports.
07:31And away we go from Boston.
07:38And the Booker's certainly got plenty of great memories here in Boston.
07:43So just playing against the Celtics in general.
07:45And the catch and shoot three, O'Neal.
07:47And catches one in early.
07:49Always a good sign for Rolls-Royce with just six points, 28 minutes in the game against Toronto.
07:54Yeah, the Suns had good shots against Toronto.
07:57Some of them didn't go down.
07:58And the same thing tonight with Lesby.
08:00You know, we talked about his game, getting involved.
08:02And he always makes things happen on the defensive end.
08:06Lesby with the early active hands generates the steal.
08:08And that's hard to do against this Boston team.
08:11They are number one in terms of taking care of the basketball.
08:13Just over 12 turnovers per game.
08:16That will go a long way in generating those extra possessions for Phoenix.
08:20Pocket pass inside.
08:22Oso with a quick turn and slam.
08:24Yeah, aggressive play inside.
08:25Look at our first possession.
08:27He got the ball at the high post.
08:29Dribble down.
08:30Defense had to collapse.
08:31He kicked it out to O'Neal.
08:32And that time he was wide open.
08:33And Booker found him.
08:35He's had a couple days rest after getting things going.
08:38As Gillespie comes up with another steal.
08:40Sets up a transition opportunity.
08:42Drops it off to the trailing Booker.
08:45Celtic is able to get back.
08:46Transition defense.
08:47Booker working on K to step back three.
08:49Too strong with that one.
08:53Well, on that break, Gillespie just kind of lost the handle of it.
08:57That's why they had to set up in the half court.
08:59Tatum trailing on the play.
09:00Fires the long three.
09:02Too strong with that one.
09:04And Tatum's numbers, obviously, they're good.
09:05They're not as good as last year, obviously,
09:07as of yet.
09:08But he has not been able to shoot the ball
09:10quite as well as he would like to.
09:12Jalen Green continues that hot streak from the outside.
09:14Jalen Green shooting the ball well.
09:16Eight made threes Friday on 16 attempts.
09:19As Kata on the roll will get the end one.
09:22First points of the night for Boston
09:24and an opportunity to make it a three-point play.
09:30Now the Suns on this side and Jalen Green
09:32just setting it up off that screen by Iguodara.
09:36And then on the other side,
09:37a little drop pass right there by Tatum to Kata.
09:41And the thing is, if he's inside, foul him.
09:44Don't let him get that shot.
09:45It was kind of like soft reaches there.
09:4769% shooter to further your point.
09:51Boy, what a story.
09:52What a season.
09:53Amos Kata has been in his fifth season,
09:56originally drafted by Sacramento.
09:58And he has created a real position
10:04in that back line defensively.
10:05The Suns turn it over.
10:07Hauser runs it up the floor.
10:09Tatum scoops a pass across the Whites,
10:10trailing behind the strike.
10:11He knocks it down.
10:17Well, it was White who had a lot of ways
10:19single-handedly kept Boston in it
10:22there in Phoenix, Annie.
10:24He went for a big night.
10:2722 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists.
10:29You can't get that one.
10:30Green trying to get the foul on the rebound attempt.
10:34Back comes Boston now.
10:36He's got Jalen Brown.
10:37You can see plenty of three-point attempts
10:39between these two clubs.
10:42Jordan Ott talked about,
10:43we want to get in a running game.
10:45We don't want to set up in a half court
10:46if we don't have to address this team.
10:48And that was blocked by White.
10:51So good at recovering defensively
10:53when you think you've got him beat.
10:55That's one of the reasons
10:55why he's been two-time all-defensive second team.
10:58And Green rebounding the misfire there.
11:01Who's named defensive player of the month
11:03for Big Royce.
11:04Jalen Green!
11:06Taking Kata to the boom room!
11:10Oh my goodness!
11:11He did a nice job just shading on the defense.
11:14They blocked him out
11:14for him to go in there left-handed.
11:17I think Kata was stunned
11:18at just how quickly Green was able to get off
11:20as Tatum navigates his way down the lane.
11:24You know, we keep talking about Jalen Green
11:26and getting his legs underneath him,
11:28getting his win,
11:29understanding where he's going to get the ball.
11:32Booker, double-team comes.
11:35Neal gives it right back to him.
11:36Booker driving on White with a step-back mid-range.
11:40Nice job creating space off White.
11:44The two of the top mid-range shooters in the game
11:47as Brown drives inside, won't get it.
11:49Kata wrestled it away from Gillespie.
11:51Out to Tatum, sets his feet,
11:53knocks down the triple.
11:57A one-point game.
12:00And you know Jalen Brown's going to attack.
12:03He shoots the threes, but he's going to go inside.
12:05Yeah, Booker, Brown, top ten in mid-range shooting
12:10and makes as Hauser collides with Booker there,
12:13and that'll get Booker to the Frito line.
12:15And Jalen Green, he said,
12:16and Ikedauer, again, he kind of set that up.
12:19Brown couldn't catch up,
12:20but Kata got blocked out and comes right in.
12:24Actually, it was right-handed off the left side.
12:28He's looking to make posters every game of someone.
12:34Booked 31 points in a game Friday night.
12:38He's 45 of 49 from the Frito line over the last five games.
12:42Adds to it there.
12:44Snaps an 8-0 Boston run after that 11-4 Phoenix start.
12:47And even in the Toronto game, there was a winnable game,
12:50listening to Jordan Hott before the game today,
12:53and we kind of gave that away
12:54until there was nine free throws in that game.
12:59Booker with a pair.
13:0388% on the season.
13:05Here's Brown driving into the paint.
13:07Sets up Hauser for the wide-open look.
13:09Spins out, no.
13:10Booker with a rebound.
13:11But then White sneaks from behind.
13:14Well, White a little bit like Jordan Goodwin
13:17as Booker on the long outlet up the floor.
13:20Redirected.
13:20O'Neal from the corner.
13:22Cashes it in right in front of the Suns bench.
13:24Nice long pass.
13:25Heads up play by Booker,
13:26but also was saying get it down there in green
13:29with the tap over in the corner.
13:31Brown on the drive.
13:32Hangs inside.
13:33Won't get the bucket, but will get the foul.
13:36Yeah, and you could see,
13:37and it was what Jordan really
13:40expressed multiple times in the visit
13:42with the pregame media session, Annie,
13:44that, you know, we don't want to get caught
13:46in a half-court game with their defense.
13:49They're just too good.
13:51We've just got to clean up our mistakes in this game,
13:54and, you know, this is a game,
13:57certainly a winnable game.
14:00I know it's early.
14:01This is Health Update brought to you by Banner Health,
14:03official health care partner of the Phoenix Suns.
14:06He's also going to get an early breather.
14:08The Suns rookie, come on,
14:09mile watch will check in.
14:15Even on that last play at practice yesterday,
14:18watching them over at Northeastern,
14:19they practiced the defensive rebound,
14:23long pass to half-court,
14:24hitting the guy in the corner.
14:26So look to see if there's going to be
14:28a lot more passes like that.
14:29You see a couple of guys,
14:31the Suns are anxiously awaiting their return.
14:33back into uniform from street clothes.
14:35Booker turning the corner on Brown,
14:37drives it to the defense.
14:39Coops a pass out to Gillespie.
14:41Sets up, fires and splashes one home,
14:43and what a great sign for Collin,
14:45coming off a scoreless game,
14:46his first time since last April.
14:48And he knocks down the triple
14:50for a 20-13 lead.
14:52Timeout, Boston.
14:53And Gillespie spotting up
14:54with a catch-and-shoot right there
14:56by Dylan, I should say Devin,
14:59with an assist,
15:01and Gillespie with the shot.
15:03I'll get it going.
15:0724 to go in the first,
15:09and they lead the Celtics 20-13.
15:11And it's time for the Mountain America Credit Union,
15:13the exclusive home of the Suns card.
15:16How about this?
15:18Coming off of the heels of the Suns,
15:21consecutive 30-point games
15:22from Booker and Green,
15:23joining some very elite company there, Annie.
15:28Yeah, you think 77-79,
15:31Walter Davis, Paul Westphal,
15:33Alvin Adams, Walter Davis there three times.
15:36As I say, you see the common theme there?
15:38Sweet D was involved in all of them.
15:41John McFour was coaching, yes.
15:467 of 10 for the field,
15:48start for the Suns,
15:49including 4 of 5 from downtown.
15:51Royce has already knocked down
15:52a couple on three attempts.
15:55Here is Boston,
15:56coming off an easy win Saturday night.
15:58Here at home against Washington,
16:00played by as many as 30 in that game.
16:02Brown drives inside,
16:04knocked away,
16:05tapped,
16:06but then a whistle and a foul.
16:07He'll get O'Neal,
16:09and Royce is
16:12squinting with a finger,
16:14and he's saying that is all ball.
16:18And,
16:20but Royce is one of the few Suns players
16:24who will constantly wave that finger.
16:28And we get a Celtics 20-13.
16:31We presently,
16:33in the Mississippi Suns challenge,
16:34Josh Tibbetts.
16:35After review,
16:35O'Neal legally gets to the basketball,
16:37and it is a good defensive play.
16:38The call on the floor is being overturned
16:40to a no call.
16:41The challenge is successful.
16:44The contact afterwards
16:45between Brown and O'Neal
16:47was incidental.
16:48It's a successful challenge.
16:49They do have one further challenge
16:51if needed.
16:51In the aftermath,
16:52there was no clear possession
16:53by either team.
16:54We're going to jump it up center circle
16:55to resume play.
16:57A good call right there,
16:59and it ends up play by Royce O'Neal.
17:02As we said,
17:02Royce is not one of those guys
17:04that constantly waves his finger,
17:06but you can see
17:08good clean block,
17:09no contact from Malawach.
17:11And Jordan O'Neal usually doesn't
17:13do this, you know,
17:15this early in the game.
17:16This early in the game.
17:16No, but when you are looking,
17:18you're putting Jalen Brown
17:19to the free throw line.
17:20Anything you can do
17:21to keep him out of rhythm.
17:24Trayson Allen has checked
17:25into the game as well.
17:27I believe the Suns challenge record
17:30of the season is 46-22.
17:32They had a streak of eight
17:34straight successful challenges
17:36as White with the strip.
17:38Remember White was a part
17:39of that Olympic team also.
17:42Spencer Player of the Month
17:44for February.
17:45First ever for a Celtics player.
17:48This man-man doing a nice job.
17:50Tatum trying to bait him
17:51into that three-point foul.
17:53Malawach steps out
17:54and heads up play,
17:55but the Suns rookie.
17:56Yeah, I like the fact
17:57that he stayed down on the ground
17:58that second time.
18:01Green working on Brown.
18:03He'll take the long
18:05two-point pull-up.
18:06Houser there for the rebound
18:07of the miss.
18:11White looking down low
18:13for Brown.
18:13Using that big body
18:14on Green.
18:15Slips inside and
18:17we'll get a whistle
18:18and a foul called there
18:19on Jalen Green.
18:23That'll be his first.
18:28Full sale substitution
18:29coming in here for
18:33Joe Missoula's Celtics
18:35is Brown at the line.
18:36and you see his numbers
18:36so far on the season
18:38shooting 79%
18:39from the stripe.
18:46Brown 16 points
18:47in his 31 minutes
18:48and a win Saturday.

19:10out most of the season
19:11he has just picked up
19:12the slack.
19:14Yeah,
19:14averaging about 34 minutes
19:15you wonder
19:17because of that
19:18Lewitt you're talking about
19:19Annie
19:19if it's taken a little
19:21toll on his legs
19:22because you look at
19:22his three-point shooting
19:23and he started in December
19:25at 43%
19:27and so far here
19:28in the month of March
19:29he's just over 25%.
19:31The coaches have talked about
19:33you know,
19:33hitting that wall.
19:34Pritchard swings it around
19:35Shireman sets up
19:36in a corner
19:37and knocks down
19:38the corner three.
19:39Boy,
19:40what a valuable asset
19:41he has become.
19:42He was another one
19:43who played a pivotal role
19:44in that Celtics cover
19:45behind wins
19:46finished with a double-double.
19:48The Suns
19:49turn it over.
19:50There's Shireman
19:51involved in a play again.
19:52Finds a streaking Brown.
19:55Timeout Phoenix.
20:005.34 to go in the first.
20:04Shireman in his second year
20:06out of Creighton
20:07coming up with the steal
20:08and the pass
20:10as the Celtics
20:11coming up
20:11with a big turnover.
20:16Suns Celtics tied
20:1720 apiece.
20:185.34 to go
20:19here in the first
20:20from downtown Boston.
20:22It's time now
20:22for the Honeywell
20:23Aerospace Stems deck.
20:25You look at
20:26Kevin Booker's
20:28numbers
20:29playing here
20:30in Boston.
20:31Of course,
20:32so much
20:33it goes back
20:34back to that 70-point
20:35outburst.
20:36Still an arena record
20:38here at TD Garden.
20:39Career highs
20:40and field goal attempts
20:40at 40.
20:41Free throws made,
20:4224.
20:43Free throw attempts,
20:4326.
20:45All in the same game.
20:48That's the way, too,
20:49you've got to come
20:49into the game
20:51where you've done
20:52so well
20:52and just be patient.
20:55Booker driving,
20:56able to get
20:56right of the lane.
20:58It looked like
20:59couldn't tell
20:59Pritchard
20:59maybe got a piece
21:00of that one.
21:02So if they missed
21:02their last four shots,
21:03Celtics on a 7-0 run.
21:05Garza
21:05swings into Pritchard.
21:07Pritchard's been
21:07a little bit of a
21:08shooting funk
21:08here in March as well.
21:10Try to work around
21:11Booker.
21:12Booker fighting
21:12over the
21:13guards' screen.
21:14Pritchard gets
21:15to the mid-range.
21:16Won't get it long.
21:16Rebound tracked down
21:17by Jordan Goodwin
21:18who's checked in
21:18during that timeout.
21:21Skip pass far side.
21:23Allen gets a
21:24wide-open look
21:24but can't connect.
21:29The Celtics,
21:30out of their
21:30six field goals,
21:31are off six assists.
21:34Brown.
21:35Touch pass.
21:36Garza.
21:3943% of the season
21:40so not a fluke.
21:4215 points
21:43in 15 minutes
21:44Saturday.
21:47You've seen his
21:48minutes go up
21:49just a tick.
21:54Allen on the catch
21:55and shoots three ball.
21:56Won't get it.
21:57Goodwin with a rebound.
21:59Brown got a hand on it.
22:00Pocket pass inside.
22:01Allen swings it
22:01to the corner.
22:04Suns rookie
22:04Rashear Fleming
22:05unable to knock
22:06that one down
22:06and the Suns
22:07have suddenly gone cold.
22:09They've missed
22:10seven straight
22:11after starting
22:11seven of ten.
22:13Tatum
22:13near side
22:14into Pritchard.
22:20Tatum
22:20from the corner.
22:21Won't get that one.
22:22Malawach
22:23snares the miss.
22:24Boston moving
22:25the ball
22:26on the offense
22:26in their half-court game.
22:31Look for the Suns
22:33needing a bucket.
22:34They've gone
22:34close to four minutes
22:36without a field goal
22:37as he gets tangled up
22:39with Pritchard there.
22:40The whistle
22:41and the foul.
22:42Pritchard
22:43his first
22:43second team

22:47number 28,
22:48Hugo Gonzalez

22:51Reclasing
22:52rookie out of Spain.
22:54Hugo Gonzalez
22:55will check
22:56into the game.
22:58He was scoreless
22:59in his nine minutes.
22:59He's another one
23:00who's
23:01seen his
23:04minutes
23:05accelerated here
23:06in a rookie season
23:07with Tatum out
23:08but
23:08now those minutes
23:09have come down
23:10a little bit.
23:11Allen
23:11sets up the flyby
23:12on the rookie.
23:13Sets his feet.
23:14Won't miss that one.
23:15Nice pump fake
23:16and just took
23:17his time
23:17as Gonzalez
23:18flew by.
23:24Tied 23-0.
23:27Pritchard
23:28pulls it back
23:28outside now.
23:29Boston comes in.
23:31They're four back
23:32at Detroit
23:32in the east.
23:33They've got a game
23:34lead over New York
23:36as Brown
23:37a tough contestant
23:38too.
23:40Allen with a rebound.
23:42Up the floor
23:42and out of Booker.
23:44He's thought about
23:45pulling for the three
23:45instead.
23:46He'll drive in
23:46on the rookie.
23:47Gets a tough
23:48bank shot to go.
23:49Yeah, good hesitation
23:50by Booker.
23:51Froze the defense.
23:56Pritchard
23:56scooped past
23:57to Shireman.
23:58Trying to go
23:58baseline
23:59and Rashear
24:00Fleming
24:00with those long arms
24:02nearly had the steal.
24:04There's Collin Gillespie
24:06racing back to the table.
24:08He'll check in here
24:08as Booker
24:09will sit down
24:09with 2.43 to go.
24:11Yeah, Booker
24:12with that little
24:12hesitation dribble
24:13right there
24:14and Gonzalez
24:14just out of position
24:15and tough shot
24:17by Booker.
24:18All five starters
24:19have scored
24:20for the Suns.
24:23Here is Brown.
24:25Brown working
24:26on Gillespie.
24:27Gets to the elbow
24:28and Collin
24:29looked like he caught
24:30a forearm
24:31right in the nose.
24:34with Brown
24:35to the free throw line.
24:39See the eyes
24:40watering there
24:40on Gillespie
24:41with 2.35 to go
24:44here in the first.
24:46Yeah, Jalen Brown
24:46is going to want
24:47to put that ball
24:47on the floor
24:48and do pull-ups
24:49and not as much
24:50as a catch and shoot
24:51because he wants
24:51to attack.
24:53His numbers
24:54have been a little
24:55up and down
24:55of late as well.
24:5716 Saturday
24:57but again
24:58that was a 30-point win
25:00as we get a message
25:01from our friends
25:01at Kia.
25:1223 points
25:13at Cleveland
25:13and a win.
25:15Eight points
25:15and a second quarter
25:16ejection
25:16against San Antonio.
25:18And then 34 points
25:20and a tough
25:21two-point loss
25:22at the hands
25:22of Shea
25:23and the Thunder.
25:27There's one of only
25:28a handful
25:28of Western Conference
25:29teams they have
25:31left to match up against.
25:32They will face
25:32the Thunder
25:33and Minnesota
25:36once each.
25:38And we get another
25:38whistle
25:39and a foul.
25:40when we talk
25:41about the physicality
25:42of coming into this game
25:43and really the Suns
25:44had that mindset
25:45and right now
25:46you can see
25:47the second team
25:47for Boston.
25:48They're the ones
25:49that are very handsy
25:50a lot of holding.
25:5413th foul
25:54on the Celtics
25:55Suns with four.
25:57Gonzalez picking up
25:58that last foul.
25:59Allen inside
26:00looking to create
26:01some space.
26:01Kicks it out
26:02now to Goodwin.
26:04Goodwin on the drive.
26:05Scoops a pass
26:06into the corner
26:06for Phoenix Totals
26:07as we swing it
26:08over to Amanda.
26:09Annie you mentioned
26:10that intensity
26:10and that's something
26:11that Devin Booker
26:12talked today about
26:13at Shootaround
26:14saying that we have
26:14to match their intensity
26:16and match their physicality.
26:17When they came to our gym
26:18they had 20 offensive rebounds
26:20and they out-dogged us
26:22but that's our motto
26:23too and we have to
26:24raise the physicality
26:25from the very beginning
26:26and from the jump.
26:28Yeah those 50-50 balls
26:32really proved to be
26:33the killers
26:33in the Boston win
26:34there in Phoenix
26:35and Jordan Goodwin
26:36closing from behind
26:37got a lot of leather
26:38but the baseline official
26:40Josh Tiven
26:41the crew chief
26:42says piece of the arm
26:44as well.
26:45The rest of our crew
26:45tonight along with
26:46Josh Tiven
26:46is Mark Lindsay
26:47and Ashley Moyer
26:49Leash.
26:51More free throws
26:52here for Brown
26:54already 6 of 6.
26:56He's got 6 of the team's
26:587.
26:59So an early parade
27:00to the line
27:01for Jalen Brown.
27:02Yeah all the fouls
27:03have been in the lane.
27:08And just you know
27:10kind of speaks to
27:11perhaps recognizing
27:12his own struggles
27:14from 3-80
27:15here in the month of March
27:16and a guy like Brown
27:186'6", 240 pounds
27:20knows he can
27:20get to that
27:2315-17 foot shot
27:25pretty much any times
27:26he want
27:26any times he want
27:28and can touch
27:29the paint as well
27:30and
27:32now they're going
27:33to call a lane
27:34violation
27:36Josh Tiven
27:37from behind the play
27:38pointing out
27:39Osu Iguodaro.
27:43His foot was on the line.
27:46Was it Osu
27:47or was it good?
27:48It's just like
27:49you know how many guys
27:50stand on the lines?
27:53Wow.
27:54You don't see that often.
28:00Josh Tiven
28:01talking to Jordan Odds
28:03I think he may be
28:04referencing
28:05Jordan Goodwin
28:08saying his foot
28:09crossed over
28:11on that of Garza
28:13but yeah
28:13not a
28:14not a call
28:15that you see very often
28:16but
28:16made down the left
28:17gave Brown an opportunity
28:193 to make 2
28:20and he does just that
28:21so a perfect 8 of 8
28:22from the line
28:23here for Jalen Brown
28:2410 points.
28:26Allen driving
28:27into the paint
28:27gets the screen
28:28running right hand
28:29hook
28:30and a whistle
28:31and a foul.
28:32Good screen that time
28:33inside by Iguodaro
28:34to set up the
28:35lane for Allen.
28:439-9
28:44for the free throw line
28:45in this first quarter
28:46for the Celtics.
28:48Second time

28:50is going to the free throw line.
28:512-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2.

39:42First free throw attempts of the night for Jalen
39:46We get a message from our friends at Gila River Resorts and Casinos
40:02It's the pair
40:05Cuts back into that Boston lead
40:12Front end of a back-to-back for the Suns
40:15A no mercy from the NBA back-to-back Boston tonight on the Minneapolis and frigid temps in the
40:24Timberwolves tomorrow
40:26Here is White driving to his left cut off there by Highsmith
40:29He goes with a quick turnaround
40:32Good defense again by Highsmith forcing the miss
40:38Green working on Pritchett
40:43Able to get back to his left and knock down the middie
40:45What a nice job just coming back the other way off that screen by Oso
40:49Again you can just see the cohesiveness that Jalen is getting with
40:53He's big and goes to a Godaro out there
40:57White just kind of shoved Highsmith off of him
41:01Pritchard driving
41:03Tied up there by Goodwin
41:05Five on a shot clock
41:06White hits double-team traffic
41:09Swings the pass to Shireman who was going the other direction
41:11Suns force another Boston turnover
41:13Good hustle on the defense. I mean just constantly moving being aggressive in the Celtics face
41:21Hauser will take a seat Shielan Brown will check back in
41:25One of two Boston scores of double figures that's Brown and white Brown with 11 nine of those have come
41:31from the free-throw line
41:33Here's Gillespie works up the screen gets to the mid-range too strong
41:38Sharma with a rebound
41:40Off to Pritchard on the quick course of the floor
41:48Round try to set up a Godaro does so and beating on the quarter three
41:55This first three-point knocked out of the night
42:03Stopped at nine to Phoenix run
42:06Celtics by four green it's a wide-open look spins out no
42:14It's been seven minutes to go here in the first half
42:21Cato way outside
42:25White takes the handoff drives inside but easy to
42:3116 for Derek white
42:33And Phoenix got stuck up on that high screen and nobody really helped out
42:42Green drives goes right at Cato has it blocked away but recovered there by Goody
42:46Goodwin will pull it about out did not touch the iron remember
42:51Green to the baseline
42:53Gets the bounce
42:5513 for Jalen green
42:58And Boston bringing the ball out of the rim
43:02At the rim after that made basket pretty quick they're getting set up in their offense
43:07Here's white driving again little teardrop won't get it tapped out control by green
43:11A tough pass in traffic there to Oso Iguodaro last touched by Boston though
43:21And the Suns will get substitution to Devin Booker Royce O'Neal
43:24Head back on the floor
43:27High Smith and Goodwin will take a seat
43:30Dillon green a lot of contact right there step back
43:34Two white jerseys on him gets the bounce but
43:37High Smith was right there to put it back in
43:42Booker with white checking him defensively
43:45Finds High Smith
43:47Arching three thing of beauty
43:50Second three-point knockdown for the veteran of Hewitt Highsmith
43:53Only had a few minutes against Toronto
43:55But you don't get a terrific defensive player
43:59Brown driving in
44:00And tied up good on ball defense again by Highsmith forcing the ball out of Brown's hands
44:08That's five Boston turnovers green gets the screen
44:13Missing everything on that one
44:18Certainly we've seen Colin Gillespie go out of the game now and we've talked about
44:22Okay him getting more shots and him setting up the team
44:25So who is that guy that's going to kind of
44:28Distribute the ball a little bit more and you look for it to be Devin Booker
44:32Richard working on the Brown screen
44:38Back to the basket backing down jumps and passed out to Pritchard squares fires
44:43Hits the triple
44:4710 of 18
44:49From downtown are the Celtics
44:53Booker driving baseline
44:57Kicks it out now to green
45:02Takes the handoff of Godaro
45:05With the tough contested two
45:09And Jalen green just as we have seen the last
45:12Four games and he's strong first half he had 19 of his 34 against
45:17Toronto Friday night Tatum walking into three
45:20The Celtics are perfect six of six for beyond the arc here in this second quarter
45:26Well they're spot-ups they're wide open and they're knocking them down
45:30That was what
45:32Jordan not talked about is it we can't be indecisive defensively just because they've got so many three-point shooters
45:38when they grab it inside
45:40You better know where that nearest three-point shooter is
45:44Well certainly they're trying to help out as much as they can and
45:48Tatum back into the game but there's that penetration that inside outside game that the
45:53Boston Celtics are creating and Tatum
45:57Knocking that one down
46:00Tatum's knocked down a three in each of his last 61 regular season games
46:03That's the second longest current streak in the league
46:07Little big shot Stephen Curry at 88 just a few games ahead
46:14Amir Coffey checking into the game for his first run tonight
46:17Booker driving on Pritchard fading to his left and knocking down the tough mid-range
46:25Set a four to go here in the first tab a good back-and-forth battle
46:32Long-time rivals as Pritchard
46:35Right down the lane untouched on the scoop feed from White
46:38You know Neil just got caught looking and Pritchard again just very where it cuts to the basket
46:43It's a nice dish Booker driving on Pritchard
46:49White came from the backside for help
46:51Booker driving finds Coffey
46:54Gives it right back to Booker fire with the shot clock
46:57Defender comes O'Neal
46:59Ready to shoot
47:01There's a high bounce
47:03Pritchard grabs it
47:04Bleeding the left eyebrow looks like
47:07White driving to the paint he'll hold up
47:11You can see the Celtics want to get the ball out of Devin Booker's hands
47:14Double and triple teaming him up
47:17Now watch outside trying to defend Tatum
47:19Tatum driving challenge there by Malawaks
47:22But it's Hauser who grabs the miss three of the shot clock
47:24Brown got to let him fly
47:27And another
47:29Three ball goes down for Boston
47:3458-50 Phoenix timeouts
47:38Jalen Brown leading the way with 17 points for Boston
47:42He's getting it inside the free throw line
47:45Knocking down threes
47:48Confidently on this play Jalen Green setting things up with Oso
47:51Setting the screen high screen he goes one way and then as soon as
47:55Brown gets through he cuts back the other way
47:59And Oso still setting that screen which allows Green to get a wide open look
48:0815 first half points you see the shooting numbers for Jalen
48:11We talked about that before the game
48:14Just over the last three or four games his
48:16Shooting has really shot up 40% from downtown
48:23And right now the difference in this one is four more made threes
48:26The Celtics
48:3012-20
48:32Downtown they are perfect here in this
48:34Second quarter is Booker thunders down the paint
48:37And throws it down after beating the defender there
48:41Yeah, he really wanted he was posted up at the high post against White
48:44It got knocked away and he said I'm taking it to
48:47Oof
48:49Ten points for Booker
48:50Here is Tatum driving on top he kicks it to White
48:53Catch and shoot three
48:56My goodness
48:57Yeah his frustrating part is Boston is one of the worst
49:00Teams in assists even though they knocked down a lot of threes
49:03And yet they've got
49:0617 assists as a team in this first half so far
49:08Booker in the face of Hauser
49:10Back-to-back buckets for Book
49:14You have to hear point Andy
49:15They are 28th in the lead in assists at 24 per game
49:19Suns are just about the same right there at 26th
49:25But they've all been catching shoot threes
49:28Like that
49:29White won't get that one
49:31Booker grabs the rebound away from Tatum
49:34Suns trying to close the gap here in the last 142
49:37Booker driving right at White
49:38Gets inside won't get the bucket but will get the whistle and a foul
49:42As he's sitting in the white tumbling
49:45We talked about Booker handling the ball and
49:48Here he sees white white
49:50It's too late and he reaches around
49:52Leaves it wide open and Booker goes up
49:57That wasn't a blue
49:58You know
50:01There's more to come
50:02That's right
50:04Suns already
50:05Eight made threes and that means anytime they make at least seven of the first half
50:09You can head to an Arizona Carlos Junior location tomorrow
50:12And get a free single Western bacon cheeseburger or single famous star with cheese
50:16And the purchase of a large-sized fountain break
50:18Quarter ahead of the Carlos Junior app using promo code 219
50:22Book with a pair
50:23Fourteen five-point Boston lead
50:3190 seconds of the first half
50:34Brown veteran driving on the rookie
50:36Fleming challenging him
50:38And then Brown giving the too small signal
50:44But Gillespie tried to hedge in there
50:46And knocked that ball away
50:49And he gets the edge on
50:52Fleming
50:53But you know what I like about Fleming is
50:55Yes, he went up but then he was able to recover for the second time even though it's a foul
51:00Yeah, and look this is the first time a sheer has faced Brown
51:03Now you can watch tape Annie you can read the scouting report
51:06But until you have faced that guy, you know those little lessons that hopefully he will
51:13Jake
51:15In real time O'Neal squares fires long rebound
51:19Gillespie off the miss
51:20So they will reset
51:22Booker now working on Hauser
51:25Able to drive it into the paint again
51:27Boats one up and in
51:31Book says speaking is too small
51:35The Suns have been affected when they've gotten inside
51:39Just the blistering three-point shooting for Boston
51:44Tatum's driving there's white again
51:46Nobody contests
51:48Unfortunately nobody gets
51:49That but loose ball rebound kicked out and the Suns catch a break there
51:57Booker got the screen on the drive inside with the finish and the foul
52:03Got a great little screen from his teammate Connie Gillespie to give him just the angle he needed
52:09Exactly up high near the half-court line and Booker got enough space past white
52:15Nice screen right there
52:17And then he blows by and White maybe thinks Pritchard is going to come back up
52:21But Booker with the nice drive he's so good with that left hand
52:32Yeah, you think back early in his career when he had the
52:37Right wrist injury and
52:39Had it in a cast and
52:41Works exclusively with the left hand and
52:44Not that he wasn't solid with his left hand coming into the NBA but just made it that much stronger
52:48He's got the Suns last 13 points now
52:51Yeah, it's just finishing the shot it's handling the ball off the dribble
52:58Coffey getting a defensive assignment on Brown tries to stay in front of him does so
53:02Got a piece but couldn't make the save but good defense there by the long-armed Amir Coffey
53:0810 of the shot clock 20.2 on the game clock
53:12Coffey with some fresh legs
53:15He did not play Friday night
53:21Round off the inbound trying to get baseline across the lane jumps a pass to Keita
53:26Keita nowhere to go finds Pritchard
53:28Pritchard bouncing in traffic
53:30And right at the shot clock
53:33Keita
53:34Hammers it home
53:35Yeah, the Suns were scrambling they were doing a good job
53:37And then Pritchard just got inside they collapsed on him and Keita was wide open
53:42Final five seconds
53:44Hooker working on Pritchard over to Goodwin
53:50And that is the way the first half will come to a close
53:53An entertaining half at that here in Boston
53:55With the Celtics in front 65-61
53:58Stay tuned now for the Healy River Resorts and Casinos Halftime Report
54:02With Tom Leander and Tom Chambers you're watching Phoenix Suns basketball on Arizona's Family Sports
54:07Halftime here in Boston with the Celtics in front 65-61 along with our Emmy award winning crew
54:13Our director David Bigame Hunter-Hughes our producer
54:16Lucas
54:18Evan Booker pacing these Suns and scoring with 19-15 from Jaylen Green you got 10 on the bench
54:24From Grayson Allen
54:27Second quarter shooting though
54:28It was just blistering hot for the Celtics
54:31They started out with a personal Derrick White
54:339-0 run to start
54:35They were 8-12 from 3
54:37The difference in the second quarter with the Suns were 2-9
54:41Yeah, well Jaylen Brown and Derrick White
54:43Derrick White was 6-11 from the floor
54:46But 4-7 from threes in that second quarter
54:49And those two shot 60%
54:50But if you put Green and Booker in the second quarter
54:54They shot 69%
54:56And Booker was 5-5
54:58And they also kept Jaylen Brown off the free throw line in that second quarter
55:02Yeah, it's pretty significant
55:04Before we get the third quarter starter
55:06Let's swing it over to Amanda for the BMW Coats Chats
55:10Jesse, look at the first half
55:12Obviously, the Celtics, they're moving it well
55:14Getting it going from three
55:16What adjustments are you looking to see in the second half?
55:19Get the offense going more?
55:20Yeah, we didn't do a great job of impacting those shots early in the game
55:24And they got a great rhythm
55:25We're able to have a better second quarter
55:28Heating the ball up, pressuring them, and making it tougher on the shots
55:33But this third quarter, we really have to make them play inside that three-point line
55:38Jesse, thanks for the time
55:39Thank you very much
55:39Yeah, thank you, Jesse
55:40Thank you, Amanda
55:41Easier said than done
55:45Boston comes in number 11 in three-point shooting
55:49Suns number two in three-point shooting defense
55:51And it was put to the test there in that first half primarily in that second quarter
55:55Here is Brown
55:56Back to the basket with Gillespie defending
55:58Four in the shot clock
55:59Trying to spin baseline
56:01Collin, good defense
56:02It forced him into the tough contest
56:04But then we're going to get a loose ball foul called down inside
56:08He's going to be charged
56:10On Osuigodoro
56:11Boy, you force the tough contest
56:13And then
56:16Well, Osuigodoro's working hard
56:17You know, he's only got two points and one rebound
56:19But, you know, he's got to be physical against his kid, Kato
56:27White, working on the key to screen
56:31Back outside out of Hauser
56:33Hauser has hit the score
56:35The only starter who hasn't
56:36Tatum driving
56:37Clides inside of the left-hand finish
56:39Tatum got a running start going to the left there
56:43Suns could not clog up the middle
56:46Green driving on Brown bounce pass inside to Iguodoro
56:49Nowhere to go with it
56:50He'll pull it back out
56:52Sets up Booker for the three-point look
56:53And hold the pose
56:55Uno
56:5522 for Booker
56:57All started with Jalen Green getting in the lane
56:59And then the pass to Godell
57:01Bringing it back out
57:03Tatum
57:03Trailing on the plane
57:05Won't get it
