*Happy 30^th birthday to Leandro Barbosa. What a fantastic Twitter handle he has: @TheBlur_Barbosa. He won the Sixth Man of the Year Award for the 2006-07 season as a member of the Phoenix Suns. Barbosa is now providing some much-needed bench scoring for the Celtics in 2012-13.

–On Sunday, Barbosa scored in double-digits for the 4^th time this season.

–Before the Orlando game, the last time Barbosa had scored at least 10 points was the Brooklyn game on November 15.

–The Celtics have won the last 2 games in which Barbosa has come off the bench to score double-digit points.

*The Celtics remain 1 of 3 NBA teams yet to lose a game this season in which they have had a halftime lead.

–Celtics are 5-0 after leading at the half.

–The 76ers have the most halftime leads this season without a loss (6). The Bobcats are the other team (3-0 with a halftime lead).
