Here's something from ITG that also supports the warm down theory too:

Just thought I would throw that one out there. I agree with what this article says. After playing a long jazz band practice where I'm up on High Cs,Ds, and Es, I need to warm down or else the next day my chops are crap. One of the things that warming down does for the chops is that it restores blood flow to them. This helps with muscle and tissue repair.

When in doubt, go with the FLOW... it's all about the flow... musical line and tone production :)
