The Phoenix Suns are moving on, and the Golden State Warriors are going home. In a high-stakes Western Conference play-in showdown, the Suns delivered a commanding 111-96 victory, locking down Stephen Curry and ending the Warriors' season.

Jalen Green exploded for a game-high 36 points, shooting a blistering 14-of-20 from the field, while Devin Booker added 20. The Suns' defense was the story, with Jordan Goodwin contributing 19 points, nine rebounds, and a disruptive six steals. A frustrated Stephen Curry was held to just 17 points on 4-of-16 shooting, unable to find his rhythm against Phoenix's relentless pressure.

The intensity boiled over late when Booker and Draymond Green were both ejected after a heated exchange. With the win, the Suns clinch the No. 8 seed and a daunting first-round matchup against the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, starting Sunday.

Meanwhile, in the East, the Orlando Magic made a massive statement, dismantling the Charlotte Hornets 121-90. Paolo Banchero led the charge with 25 points as Orlando built a staggering 35-point first-half lead, leaving Charlotte in the dust.

LaMelo Ball managed 23 points for the Hornets, but 21 came in a third-quarter surge long after the game was decided. The Magic, who have been eliminated in the first round the past two seasons, secure the No. 8 seed and will face the Detroit Pistons, looking to win their first playoff series since 2010.
