No. 2 scorer Stojakovic returns to loaded Illinois

The Golden State Warriors face the Phoenix Suns in a crucial play-in game on Friday night. A win secures the Warriors a playoff spot, while a loss ends their season.
After a thriller on Wednesday night in Los Angeles, the Golden State Warriors were able to extend their season another game. Yet, they will need to go through the Phoenix Suns in another win-or-go-home game on Friday night to officially punch their ticket to the postseason.
The Warriors are coming off a vintage Steph Curry performance on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Curry scored 16 points in the third quarter alone on the way to a fiery 35-point effort with seven made 3-pointers. Along with four made triples from Al Horford in the fourth quarter, the Warriors eliminated the Clippers in the play-in tournament 126-121.
If the Warriors win on Friday night, they will secure the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference and face the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. A loss will end the Warriors' season and likely set the table for a late lottery pick in June.
