I’m watching Caleb Martin, and he’s just so under control
Doesn’t rush the shot, even waits for his defender to close-out before comfortably pulling
Bothering on the perimeter
Running the floor
Been so good – 8:59 PM

Great example of how well this team plays together and knows where the other is going to be. Caleb Martin saves the ball and by getting it to Jimmy under the basket, then Jimmy turns and passes it to a trailing Max Strus for 3. – 8:47 PM

More on this storyline
Game 3 was a continuation of the first two games in so many ways: very good Heat 3-point shooting (54 percent/19 of 35), poor Celtics three-point shooting (26 percent/11 for 42), damaging Celtics turnovers (15), exemplary work from Caleb Martin (18 points) and the Heat’s supporting cast, including a huge night Sunday from Gabe Vincent, who scored 29, and Duncan Robinson, who scored 22. -via Miami Herald / May 21, 2023
