Just a few days back, the Phoenix Suns suffered a tough defeat against the Boston Celtics, leaving a sting of disappointment.
However, the Suns now have an opportunity for redemption as they prepare to face the Celtics once again on Thursday night. Bradley Beal is eager to even the score and is anticipating the challenge of facing the league’s top team.
“I’m pumped. After the last game, it was hard to get some shut-eye. We all felt like we let one slip away,” Beal expressed to Duane Rankin. In their recent matchup on Saturday, the Suns fell short with a score of 117-107 against the Celtics.
During that game, Beal contributed 25 points to the Suns’ effort, while Kevin Durant led the charge with an impressive 45 points.
Notably, the Suns were without their star player, Devin Booker, but he is expected to be back in action for Thursday’s game.
While Booker’s return bolsters the Suns’ lineup, facing the Celtics on their home court presents a formidable challenge. The Celtics boast the best record in the NBA at 51-14, whereas the Suns hold a respectable 38-27 record.
Nonetheless, the Suns have displayed resilience of late, showcasing their offensive prowess and improving overall performance.
The question remains: Can they pull off a victory against the Celtics? Following their matchup in Boston, the Suns will face off against the Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks before returning home to challenge the Philadelphia 76ers.
With the regular season winding down, the Suns are determined to secure their playoff berth. A string of strong performances and crucial victories, including one against Boston, could solidify their postseason position.
