The Miami Heat trailed by 11 at the start of the second quarter and it appeared the Boston Celtics were on their way to evening the series. To that point, the Heat were having a hard time generating consistent looks against Boston’s double-big lineup, with Robert Williams III playing off Caleb Martin and denying Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo shots at the rim.
So the Heat turned Martin loose. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra dialed up plays to exploit Williams’ drop coverage and challenged Martin to take advantage of the space being given to him. So two minutes into the second quarter, Martin sets a screen for Kyle Lowry, who drags Jayson Tatum and Williams with him to the middle of the floor.
