Highlights:

Leandro Barbosa didn’t spend a ton of time on the court this season, but once he started finding his offensive rhythm, Suns fans were treated to the same kind of drives to the basket that gave him his Brazilian Blur nickname in the first place. He also had quite a nice 3-point buzzer beater in the first quarter of one of Phoenix’s dominant wins agains the Indiana Pacers.

Barbosa’s finest game of the season comes in the above clip, a 21-point effort against the New York Knicks in his fourth game with the Suns. Although Phoenix lost that game, Barbosa was 8-of-15 from the floor and and logged 30 productive minutes. Barbosa also had a pair of nice back-to-back performances, scoring 13 points in both.
