The season has been a roller coaster for Phoenix, marked by a major roster shakeup following a failed “super team” experiment and a series of ups and downs that the team has now overcome to reach the postseason.
In the win over Golden State, first-year Suns guard Jalen Green exploded for 36 points in 40 minutes, while veteran star Devin Booker added 20 points along with eight assists and six rebounds to help seal the victory.
Head coach Jordan Ott addressed the emotional significance of the moment, noting the group’s resilience and the willingness to take a less-traveled path to reach the playoffs.
With the win, Phoenix earns the eighth seed and will open the first-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, with the series tipping off on Sunday, April 19 at 3:30 PM ET.
This postseason berth represents a meaningful milestone for the Suns as they shift focus from regaining form to competing for a deep playoff run.
