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.
