Rockets clinch No. 1 seed with Warriors’ loss

It was a game in which Kevin Durant returned from a rib injury, but was ejected with less than five seconds remaining in the first half.

With the loss, the Houston Rockets clinched the No.1 seed in the Western Conference, and now control homecourt throughout the West playoffs.
