The Golden State Warriors' season ended in a 111–96 loss to the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Western Conference play-in tournament (a knockout round determining the final playoff seeds), ending their postseason hopes with just 37 wins on the year. Stephen Curry, 38, managed only 17 points on poor shooting, while Draymond Green was ejected following an altercation — and coach Steve Kerr, whose contract expires this summer, gathered the two for an emotional farewell exchange on the court. The defeat signals the likely close of a dynasty that won four NBA championships since 2015, with Curry battling knee injuries, Green's future unresolved, and former teammate Klay Thompson already gone — leaving the franchise at what Kerr himself called back in December "a dynasty that is fading away."
