Brad Stevens was not impressed by the Boston Celtics’ defensive play in the latest scrimmage game against the Phoenix Suns.
The Celtics’ head coach said the team needs to get better in that end, especially against the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
“We were staring instead of running. I don’t know that it’s necessarily a lack of effort, I just think we just have to make sure we do a lot better on that end of the floor … If we play like that against Milwaukee, they can set records, so we better be a lot better,” Stevens said after the game against the Suns, per Justin Quinn of USA TODAY Sports.
Boston came back with a 117-103 win over the Suns, following its loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first NBA scrimmage game in Florida.
