The Phoenix Suns (6 - 5) defeated the Boston Celtics (3 - 6) 118 - 114 on Monday at TD Garden Arena in Boston.

Markieff Morris went off Monday, shooting 14 - for - 21 from the field and 1 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score 30 points, while also grabbing seven rebounds.

For the second game in a row, Alex Len performed well of the bench, as he scored 19 points (8 - 10 FG, 3 - 3 FT), and added seven rebounds. After reaching double figures only once in the first nine games of the season, Len has now scored 17 and 19 points in consecutive games.
