Celtics-Suns Game Highlight

Be warned, it is a pretty ugly game for both teams, with turnovers all over. Watch highlight (ESPN, NBA TV).

Playing against the re-juvenile Shaq, the Celtics have matched intensity and put in good effort in defending and clamping the passing lane (Suns have 10 turnovers before half-time). Even though everyone is having shooting funk, we are only down by 10 with 6 minutes left in the clock.

But the Celtics give up the balls way too many in the second half, losing the momentum and chances to come back.

This is the third straight for the West coast trip, all to the fast-pace shooting teams. The lead to the Pistons is trimmed down to 2 games.
