With a chance to close out their first-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors, the Houston Rockets instead delivered a playoff flop to end their season Sunday night.
The Rockets won consecutive games to claw back from a 3-1 deficit and force a Game 7 but played their worst game of the series to be sent packing with a 103-89 loss.
St. Thomas softball’s hopes of an outright conference title were dashed Friday when the Tommies wobbled to a 5-4 loss in the second game of the series, but their decisive 12-2 victory in the first game kept them in striking range to share the Summit League title with Omaha.
