Phoenix Suns Punch Playoff Ticket, Face Thunder

0:00Phoenix's sons just punched their ticket to the playoffs with a solid 111-96 win over the Golden State Warriors in the final, western conference playing game. Jalen Green dropped 36 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and dishing 4 assists to carry the squad to victory as the number 8 seed. This was Revenge Fuel for Green after last season's playoff Harbrick, with the Houston Rockets against the same Warriors. Phoenix had stumbled in their first play and lost to Portland earlier this week, with a bounce back strong here. Warrior season ends on a sour note, no playoffs for them. Jordan Goodwin stepped up big with 19 points, 9 boards, and 6 steals, locking down Stephen K. E. to just 17 points on 4 of, 16 shooting. Sun's got key health from Devon Booker, with 20 points despite early struggles, and Dylan Brooks chipped in 13 despite a rough shooting night. Mark Williams sat out with foot soreness, but the team held firm. Now Phoenix has to face the top-seated Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.
