The Golden State Warriors lost 111-96 to the Phoenix Suns in a play-in game, marking their second double-digit deficit in as many games to eliminate the team. Despite a strong performance from Jalen Green, Steph Curry and Devin Booker, the Warriors were unable to turn the game around for the final playoff berth. Curry was limited to 17 points on 4-of-16 shooting after scoring 35 in the second half of their comeback win against the Clippers. Brandin Podziemski led with 23 points and 10 rebounds, but committed four of the Warriors' 21 turnovers that the Suns turned into 30 points. The Warriors' season is over, with the 11th-best odds in the lottery giving them a 9.4% chance at a top-four draft pick and 2% odds at the No. 1 overall selection.
