Why weren't they this motivated in game 1? I understand sometimes its growing pains....but its also to the point of sillyness sometimes.
Exactly....they have ALREADY been playing extra motivated. There is no higher level for them to go. The Magic are the team that could be more intense. Just hasn't happened yet for an entire game. Philly's been playing pretty much lights out for most of the forty-eight.
