In a grueling best-of-seven series in the game of basketball, two-day breaks will always have a huge factor.

First, the breaks rest the tired bodies of the players who grind it all out for 48 minutes of play, making it 53 if the game goes to overtime. The breaks could also give some players the time that they needed to recover from their injuries.

Secondly, those days can also give the coaches the time to huddle and prepare a better game plan for their next game.

As the mentors always say, a seven-game series will always be a long one so a longer preparation will always benefit both teams.

The coaches can also study the game better and they can put a new perspective on their X’s and O’s while preparing their players and everyone on the team to be all out, not just for one game but all throughout the series.

If everybody is healthy and equipped physically, mentally, psychologically, and even emotionally, they can produce a quality ballgame or series that will benefit the league that they are playing and it will bring more interest to the fans of the game.

Finally, when the supporters get excited they will be into the game and the teams battling inside the hardcourt can also feel their energy. And when that factor electrifies the coliseum, the game will be more exciting to watch and the quality of the game will not just be better but it can also be the best.
