From what I've seen, heard and read, SMB was on its way to a blowout win when TNT head coach Chot Reyes tinkered with his rotation and threw in hardly-used players to punk out SMB's stars--namely Jay Washington and Arwind Santos. Did it do enough damage to derail SMB's interchangeable do-it-all forwards? Not really, since TNT was already down big when they started roughing SMB up. Perhaps Coach Chot could try this ploy a bit earlier in Game 4-- Santos and Washington both sounded displeased in the post-game interviews to say the least (or at the very least, affected by the physicality).
