Inside three. Inside Martin. No. Second time is up and in. Pushes it through. He's got two.
Nice job there by Martin.
Abayo over Hartford. Tatum in the air. Controls it. Smart has it. Back to back 20 point games for Smart.
Down low. Pass intercepted by Martin.
Five of their nine rotation players have been in an NBA Finals.
One of them is Kevin Love. He brought the attitude today to shoot around. Normally a very mild mannered guy.
Pushing his way into the paint. Lowry leads it the other way in transition. Martin three. Good!
Especially against good defenses, when you pass up a good look, it's hard to create a second good look.
Lowry in the corner. Martin with a three.
Come in for Lowry. It's a drive by Martin.
Hartford was in the way. Shot clock at six. Twisting, turning, shooting.
Great head deep end off the bench for the Celtics.
His activity on the offensive glass is huge.
Martin rams his way inside for another two. Halfway through the second quarter.
It's a team.
Big time corner. Right turn Butler. Martin sets up for a two. Close. Right.
Jason Tatum switch on it. Jimmy Butler's got to understand what's going on and go after Jason Tatum.
Get it to the guy who's been the most consistent scorer in this series. Caleb Martin.
Drives right at Tatum. Two to fire. Away and down it goes.
As many as 17. Watch him here against Tatum with a sweet spinning shot that goes right.
It's picked up by Jimmy Butler. Fourth quarter underway.
Outside Martin. On top. Open.
And he's on one. Martin is absolutely on fire out here.
To the face. Look at Bam out of bile here. First Martin with the long three.
Players need to make adjustments as much as coaches do that Jimmy Butler did.
Turnover. Butler at the other end. Defense to offense. Transition. Timeout.
Boston Celtics in the lead for Miami Gros. Up to 17.
Equaling their biggest tonight. A 7-0 heat run.
