PHOENIX (AP) --- Derrick White scored 22 points, Neemias Queta had 14 points
and 13 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics used a big third quarter to beat the
Phoenix Suns 97-81 on Tuesday night.
Sam Hauser shot 6 for 14, including 4 for 10 from 3-point range, to add 16
points and the Celtics --- playing without All-Star Jaylen Brown (right knee
contusion) --- won their fourth in a row and for the ninth time in their last
10 games.
Baylor Scheierman had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Collin Gillespie had 15 points and Grayson Allen scored 14 as the Suns lost for
the fourth time in their last five games. The Suns played without their top two
