It's more about his age and mileage than conditioning. The "average joe" at the park hasn't played all the NBA games that Ray has, and that shit takes a toll. Fuck the flight, I think that only one day between games is more important.
And only one day between games 3 & 4. Garnett looks good tonight but will he look the same after only one day off? If the Lakers can pull this one out I think they have a big advantage going into Thursday. The older guys on the Celtics may not be able to bounce back. Three games in five days.
If we talking 'advantages', 'flights', 'rest between games', 'age', or whatever...
In that case....
A scrappy fight needs to break out in Boston.
That should 'level the playing field'.

Not a bench clearing brawl, mind you. Or any suspensions.
Just hard fouls, chippy plays, lots o' pushing -n whatnot.
Somebody needs to take a swipe at somebody.
