A few days ago, the Phoenix Suns were defeated by the Boston Celtics.
That was a painful loss for the Suns but the good news is that they have a shot at revenge on Thursday night, as they face the Celtics again.
Bradley Beal is ready to settle the score and is very much looking forward to playing against the best team in the league.
“Can’t wait. I didn’t really sleep after the game. I don’t think anybody did. It was a great, competitive game, but we felt we let one go,” Beal said to Duane Rankin.

Saturday night’s game saw the Suns losing 117-107 to the Celtics.
During that game, Beal scored 25 points, while Kevin Durant led the team with 45 points.
The Suns were without Devin Booker, who will be suited up during Thursday’s game.
That gives the Suns a big boost of talent but the fact that they are playing in Boston could hurt them a bit.
Taking down the Celtics is always hard, no matter where the game is held.
They are the best team in the NBA right now with a 51-14 record, while the Suns have a 38-27 record.
That being said, the Suns have looked stronger lately and their offensive skills have been shining brighter.
Will that be enough to help them take the Celtics down?
After their game in Boston, the Suns will then move on to the Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks before going back home to take on the Philadelphia 76ers.
There are only a few weeks left of the regular season and the Suns are hoping to secure their spot in the playoffs during that time.
If they stay healthy and score a few important wins, like one against Boston, they can make that happen.
