Blakely had a couple of interesting things on the game.

Quote:

touched on it a little bit in my game story, but I didn't spend nearly enough time writing about Jason Maxiell's impact on the game, and how he's kept himself ready for moments like Sunday night. It wasn't just his teammates and Saunders who noticed, either. "I thought Maxiell changed the game when he got in there," said Bulls coach Scott Skiles. "We couldn't match up with him."

- Webber almost did not play.

Quote:

And the game-winning basket by Chris Webber was even more impressive when you consider he was close to not being able to play because of that left eye injury. He had some complications with the medication he was on, and was throwing up before tonight's game. Webber said he didn't think he was going to play. "But Arnie (Kander, Detroit's strength and conditioning coach) and the medical staff worked their magic," Webber said.

- Oh and Sheed was upset that he had to sit out the 2nd half, thought he could have played through it. Not going to quote that.
