You didn't include time control information.

I kind of futzed through the game.  The big thing I notice is that 32. f5 is
also crushing, the doorbell rang when I was analyzing move 32 and when I came
back it was failing high at +5.  I didn't pay much attention to the PV but it
looks like white wins a lot of material.

32. Nxf7 wins as well as that or better, after 32. ... Kxf7, Qh5+ is +8 a minute
or so later.

23. ... Rg8 is illegal as far as I can tell.

In the game is 24. ... f5 a defense?

I think Junior played OK, sometimes you get attacked and have to do the best you
can.
