While the Celtics were definitely good offensively, the Bulls shot 41% from the field (and it was closer to 30% going into the 4th quarter).

On a related note, how did Calederon get the not for Biggest Loser over either Luol Deng or John Salmons? Salmons was actually drafted pretty high in most leagues and finished with a -0.49. I feel really bad for anyone who drafted him on 3 of their 4 fantasy teams. Two things to add:
