“It’s disappointing to have such a high after the last game to come out like we did today,” admitted Boston Celtics reserve guard Derrick White after Boston’s 106-94 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday night via CLNS Media.
The Celtics, perhaps still reminiscing about their 136-96 demolition of the Brooklyn Nets two days prior, got punched in the mouth early against the Suns, and neither their ostensibly Most Valuable Player candidate Jayson Tatum nor the team’s bench offered much resistance. “We had similar looks, we just didn’t make them,” explained the Colorado native. “We just couldn’t get over the hump, we cut it to (a 1-point deficit).”
