OP is probably asking because of his finals series.
When you do Playoff Crunchtime, your enth will stay the same after the match. So its safe to do that on game 2 as it will be a win or go home type of game for you, while not much affecting your performance on the tie breaking game 3 which immideately follows the day after.
But if it were me, I'd do PO Normal on game 2 to boost you're chances on game 3 on his homecourt. Seeing how you only lost 2 points in game 1 at his arena, and with poor showing on freethrows nonetheless, I can see you squeaking a win in game 2. Hey, not saying this is what you should do. But I like rolling the dice on these kind of things.
