Recollecting the memory of the final, Shaq made an admission on his podcast.

Me personally, I was doing way too much… Coach Hill gave us three days off… Me and D-Scott jumped onto a flight, we were at Magic City, we were in Atlanta. We were chilling all night, partying. Then we tried to come back there on day 4 for the practice. Had a terrible practice, it didn’t matter.
