The Phoenix Suns overwhelmed the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, April 18, 2026, clinching the Western Conference’s No. 8 playoff seed and booking a first-round meeting against the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.
The victory ensured Phoenix would avoid the play-in tournament and head straight into a best-of-seven opening series. Golden State, already out of postseason contention, closed its season with the lopsided defeat.
Dates and times for the Suns-Thunder series were not immediately announced.
