Just before he signs off as “Tonight Show” host, Leno will do some stand-up in the Witch City.
(If it’s anything like his act from his benefit last year, in Lowell, Mass., it’s definitely worth seeing folks.)
Leno is coming to Salem State as a favor to his old friend Lennie [...]

Nice win for the C’s. A victory tonight would give ‘em a huge boost heading into the break.
Speaking of which, lucky for Boston, there appears to be no break for Ray Allen. From Marc Spears of the Globe:
