Devin Booker's Poor 4th Quarter Is NOT The Reason Why The Phoenix Suns Lost To The Boston Celtics!

Benjamin Garcia breaks down how the Suns’ offense faltered in the fourth quarter, questioning the impact of Jalen Green’s return and Collin Gillespie’s reduced playmaking role. Key insights include Booker’s scoring streak, the pitfalls of a small starting lineup, and Jordan Ott’s coaching decisions. Discussion covers defensive lapses, Heywood Highsmith’s rise off the bench, and Ryan Dunn facing a DNP. With the Timberwolves up next and playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the Suns must answer whether lineup changes and renewed ball movement can get them back on track.\n\nWill Phoenix find the right starting five before it’s too late? 00:00 Suns' Fourth-Quarter Struggles Explained 03:22 Blame Debate: Booker vs. Green 08:25 Guard Dynamics and Lineup Adjustments 12:11 Suns' Small Lineup Debate 15:26 Versatility Key in NBA 2026 23:54 Boston's Ball Movement Overwhelms Suns 24:43 Celtics' Offense Overwhelms Suns 28:29 Suns Struggle in Painful Loss 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on TikTok Locked On Suns https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonphxsuns 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on Instagram Locked On Suns https://www.instagram.com/lockedonphxsuns/ 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on X Locked On Suns https://x.com/LockedOnPHXSuns Brendon Kleen https://x.com/BrendonKleen14 Ben Garcia https://x.com/BenGarciaShow Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-suns/ Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
