West Conf. Finals - Game 1: Golden State Warriors 119-106 Houston Rockets - 5 Talking Points

#2 Kevin Durant was sensational

Steph Curry and Kevin Durant

When Durant has it going as he did in this one, there is nothing anyone can do to stop him. KD went bonkers, scoring at will, regardless of who was guarding him, whether it be Harden, Paul, Capela or Ariza. He had 17 in the 1st half and 13 in the 3rd quarter, as he helped the Warriors go ahead for good in the 2nd half. KD scored with an array of mid-range jumpers, either by posting up or with his trademarks pull-ups. Houston had no answer for his onslaught in the 3rd quarter and then it was Klay's turn in the 4th.

Thompson had 28 in the Game and 11 in the 4th quarter, hitting some timely 3 pointers as the Rockets threatened to come back in the Game. They both had to step up, with Steph Curry having just an Okay night. That is the worrying part for Houston however. Harden has an incredible game, Paul was good and Curry was average and yet Golden State win on the road.
