“We do that on a daily basis in the N.B.A.,” McCutchen said, insisting that the league office would not shy away from valid criticism. “It’s our job to try to get plays right. Sometimes it could just be that we missed that play and we grew from it; it’s our job to try to grow from the mistakes that we’ve made.”That is the Rockets’ challenge now. The extended break can only help Harden, too, given that he said he “could barely see” after the injury and while fielding questions in his postgame interview session. But the Warriors are rolling again after their scare against the Clippers; they never trailed in Game 2 despite Durant’s scoring a comparatively pedestrian 29 points after averaging 40.2 points over his previous five games.
