I’ve heard teams saying the players were fatigued and couldn’t play the second game as well, but didn’t they have a two or 3 day break between the games? Why isn’t that enough time to recover? I’d think one night would be enough to sleep, eat, and re-energize.

It’s not so much that they are _fatigued_, it’s that they are _injured_.
These aren’t major injuries, but athletes at the top levels are doing lots of little bits of damage to their bodies as they push limits. You need time to heal in order to be at the top of your game, or you risk actual “real” injury by not getting healed with sufficient rest between games.
