Question for you. Do you work out frequently? I don't know about you, but if I really push myself in a run, and try the same run the next day I will be a little slower. Having a day of rest makes all the difference in the world. Especially at this level, a little thing like a day of rest can make a really big difference. Also, take into consideration last night was a really hard fought game, a late start, and if I remember correctly the longest game of the year for this team.
