Kevin Durant got a front-row seat to that blowout. He was on the other side of the court and did the best he could to beat the Celtics, putting in 30 points. That wasn't close to being enough to win the game. After the big loss, Durant could do nothing but acknowledge that the Celtics were the superior team.

Despite the Celtics resting All-Star Jayson Tatum due to an ankle injury, Boston delivered a commanding performance, defeating the Suns 132-102. Kristaps Porzingis led the charge for the Celtics with 30 points and eight rebounds, while Jaylen Brown contributed 24 points.
