The ball reached Kevin Durant’s hands. Eventually it reached Stephen Curry’s hands, too.

That left Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni having some unpleasant thoughts creep into his mind.

Fortunately for the Rockets, that nightmare did not happen. Unfortunately for the Warriors, Durant and Curry could not make a 3 to force overtime in a game they did not deserve to win, anyway.

The Warriors lost, 112-108, to the Houston Rockets in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals on Monday to tie the series at 2-2 and force a Game 6.
