Every playoff series has its game-changing moments. In ones that go six or seven games, it’s usually something that happens in one of those later games. In series that don’t last long, it might be something that happened in the first couple games that seemingly took the wind out of a team’s sails.
Below the surface, there are also always little things that get overlooked. That’s either because they happened earlier in a series and just get forgotten about. Or maybe, because that moment didn’t end up having a major impact on the final result of the series.
