Booker Scores 70 In Boston, But Celtics Outlast Suns 130-120

BOSTON (AP) — Devin Booker scored 70 points, becoming the sixth different player in NBA history to reach that total, but the Boston Celtics got 34 points from Isaiah Thomas and outlasted the Phoenix Suns 130-120 on Friday night. Phoenix has already been eliminated from playoff contention, and had only eight available players because of injuries. Boston took advantage of a disastrous shooting start by the Suns to build an early cushion. The Suns missed their first 13 shots from the floor before Booker finally hit the first field goal for Phoenix on a layup with 4:40 left in the first quarter. Avery Bradley stayed overnight at the hospital Friday to get fluids and rest for what coach Brad Stevens said was a stomach bug that's been going around the locker room.
