Jalen Green scorched the Warriors for 36 points as the Suns won 111-96 to claim the West 8-seed. Golden State's season ends. Steph Curry finished with just 17 points on 4-of-16 shooting.

The Golden State Warriors' season came to an abrupt end Friday night when the Phoenix Suns dominated them 111-96 in a crucial play-in tournament game. The Suns came out firing, with Jalen Green absolutely taking over the game, pouring in 36 points to lead Phoenix to the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

For the Warriors, it was a disappointing performance led by Stephen Curry, who managed only 17 points on 4-of-16 shooting—a stark reminder of how quickly dynasties can crumble. After years of dominance, the Warriors found themselves on the outside looking in, watching another team celebrate advancing to the playoffs.

The loss sets the stage for major questions about Golden State's future direction. With Steve Kerr's contract expiring and uncertainty swirling, the Warriors now face a critical offseason. Meanwhile, the Suns earned their ticket to the first round, where they'll face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.
