In playoffs every player down the roster is invested in the game and trying to do their part to help the team win, and you'll see sacrifices and second efforts on the level that you won't in the regular season.

Regular season games down the stretch when you have your position all but wrapped up just don't compare on the urgency scale.

It's impossible to say what will transfer and what won't in an elimination situation where your season will ultimately be judged.

Then add in different officiating standards and no gimmicks and it changes the game on a lot of levels.
