In the final NBA Play-In Tournament game on April 17, the Phoenix Suns secured a 111-96 victory over the Golden State Warriors, but not without controversy. All-Star Devin Booker and Warriors forward Draymond Green were both ejected after a heated exchange late in the game. Booker addressed the incident, stating, "It's nothing man," and likened it to past competitive moments with his brother. The ejection occurred with just 1:04 remaining in the game, as referee Scott Foster intervened after the two players exchanged words. Green exited to boos from the 17,071 fans at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, encouraging the crowd to boo louder as he left. The Suns, returning to the playoffs after a year’s absence, will face the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, starting with Game 1 on April 19 at Paycom Center.
