Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kyrie Irving placed a major dent in the Houston Rockets' playoff dreams last weekend. The Dallas Mavericks stars put the nail in Houston's hopes Sunday afternoon.
Houston admittedly entered Sunday with little in the way of legitimate playoff chances. Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors registered yet another signature win at the Toyota Center on Thursday, an ugly loss for Houston that made coach Ime Udoka say postgame his team played "soft" and like a "deer in the headlights." Golden State's win in Houston brought its magic number to two games.
