Stephen Curry, Warriors Wow Fans with Rout vs. Suns with Durant out amid Playoff Race

It was pure dominance for the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.

As the Warriors look to secure a playoff spot, they walloped the Phoenix Suns 133-95 in the two squads' final meeting of the season. The loss for the Suns, who were without star Kevin Durant, marked their seventh in a row as they got one loss closer to being eliminated from the play-in tournament.

Stephen Curry, who had just three points in his last outing against the Houston Rockets, managed to bounce back on Tuesday, posting 25 points, nine rebounds and six assists in just 26 minutes. Brandin Podziemski continued his recent hot streak, putting up 22 points.

The blowout meant Curry and other stars got the chance to rest for the entirety of the fourth quarter, which is huge considering the matchup with the Suns was the first night of a back-to-back.

After the crushing win, fans praised Curry and the Warriors for keeping their foot on the gas in the final moments of the regular season.

The Warriors won't get to enjoy a relaxing end to the regular season with how tight the playoff race is in the West. Golden State improved to 47-32 with the win and is now in fifth place in the Western Conference, but much will be determined over the final few games of the season.

The Warriors have the same record as both the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies and are just one game ahead of the eight-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves. The No. 3 seed is still at play as well as Golden State is just one game back from the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Warriors took care of business with Tuesday's win, but they'll still need to pick up a few more wins to avoid the play-in tournament.
