With 13 points on 6 of 9 from the field, Langford is one shy of matching his season high (at OKC, Nov. 30) and 3 shy of matching his career best (twice, most recently vs. PHX on Dec. 31, 2022). – 6:45 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
The Boston Celtics NBA-leading Offensive Rating entering tonight is 119.9.
The Phoenix Suns are second in Offensive Rating at 116.3.
That 3.6 margin between Boston and Phoenix is almost as large as the one separating Phoenix and the Cleveland Cavaliers in 12th place at 112.6. – 6:34 PM
