(David J. Phillip/AP)HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets spent the past year using every waking moment trying to beat the Golden State Warriors. There is just one problem with all of that: Golden State has a player who can’t actually be guarded. “When he’s like that,” Klay Thompson said, “he’s unstoppable.”So, too, is Golden State. With Durant cooking and Golden State up 85-72 with 2:23 to go in the third quarter, Kerr checked Durant out of the game. He’s the engine that drives Golden State forward, but if he gets overheated he can fall apart.
