Devin Booker scored 70 points, becoming the sixth player in N.B.A. history to reach that total, but the Boston Celtics got 34 points from Isaiah Thomas and outlasted the Phoenix Suns by 130-120 on Friday night. Baylor also held the previous record against the Celtics with 64 points in Minneapolis for the Lakers on Nov. 8, 1959. He had 19 points at halftime, then scored 23 in the third quarter to get the Suns back within range. Boston took advantage of a disastrous shooting start by the Suns to build an early cushion.
