Celtics on CLNS

Paul Pierce faces the Celtics one final time as the Celtics head to Los Angeles to take on the Clippers

Coming off an emphatic win at the Lakers on Friday, the Boston Celtics expected Sunday’s game against the 20-win Phoenix Suns to be a relatively easy affair.

The Suns – who had previously won two games in a row at home, including Fridays win against Russell Westbrook and the Thunder – had other ideas against the Celtics, beating the green-and-white 109-106 at the buzzer with a game-winning three pointer from rookie point guard Tyler Ulis.

The Celtics can move to within two games of the Cleveland Cavaliers with a win over Phoenix Sunday. Jaylen Brown is on fire of late, but won't contend with the guy picked one spot after him last summer as Dragan Bender is out injured.
