Odds and ends on Celtics/Magic

Share

Here are a few leftover notes heading into tonight’s game between Boston and Orlando.

* Boston has held its last two opponents to less than 80 points scored. It’s a first under third-year coach Brad Stevens, and hasn’t been done by the Celtics since January of 1954.

* The Celtics have nine wins by an average of 17.7 points which is the largest margin of victory by teams in the NBA this season.

* Avery Bradley has the fifth-most points in the NBA (31) coming off hand-offs.

* When the Celtics have 24 or more assists, they are 6-0 this season.

* Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas has eight games with at least 20 points and six or more assists. The only players with as many games like that are Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook (14) and Portland’s Damian Lillard (11).

* Avery Bradley has 22 games of 20 or more points in his career, 18 of which have come on the road.

* David Lee has 34 free throw attempts which is fourth among the Celtics despite being ninth on the team in minutes played.

* Evan Turner has missed his last 18 3-point attempts, and hasn’t made one since Nov. 10.
