HOW DID THEY GET THERE?
Duel between the two leading teams of the NBA. While they don’t have much of a rivalry, they are the leaders of their respective conferences. Two franchises that have proven they have weapons beyond their stars and who, with their depth on the bench, can go a long way. The Phoenix Suns, first in the West with a balance of 16-8comes to the game curdling a bad game in loss to the Dallas Mavericks (130-111). Before the genius of Luka Doncic, Devin Booker sat out and no response.
For his part, the Boston Celtics hold the leadership of the East with a balance of 20-5. They had 8 wins in their last ten games, their last loss was to the Miami Heat in overtime. The Celtics’ great offense and effectiveness help the Greens be the most dangerous team on offense, with 120.6 points per game and with the best “offensive score” in the league. The Suns are not short, being the seconds.

THE KEYS
Celtics style of play
those of Joe Mazzulla They follow a simple but at the same time essential maxim that is usually not respected, match after match, as a team: control spaces and positioning, continue with concepts and, above all, penetrate and double. Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown They are two players who are more effective in front of the basket if you create a small advantage for them, such as receiving a block. From there, the rest of the players position themselves to receive help after releasing shots or cutting to the basket. It seems simple and without more, but Boston develops its game from this, uncomplicatedlyand that’s why they have a percentage in triples of 40.2% with 41.4 of 3 shots attempted per game.
Annular to Devin Booker
In a team too bad Chris Paulthe head of operations of the alones and withouts Cam Johnson, a role player, but who had to be very aware; the spotlights are on Devin Booker. His view De André Ayton an all-out threat on offense, the Suns’ results were clearly seen to have been in line with the performance of bookers. The game against the Mavs is proof of that, as are the victories against Chicago and Houston (51 and 41 points from Booker).
