I've always liked the analogy that the battle resembled the final round of a heavyweight prize fight, with both boxers barely able to remain on their feet. The Americans exhausted from weeks of 3rd Fleet support operations. The Japanese exhausted from the beating they took just coming to grips with the US fleet.
