With the Boston Celtics ' large margin of victory over the Miami Heat in Sunday's Game 1, not many were focused on the score after the final buzzer. Instead, the main talking point was whether or not a late-game box out by Caleb Martin was a"dirty play."Martin spoke about his box-out of Tatum with reporters at Tuesday's shootaround, saying that he doesn't need to try and injure opposing players to win games.).
He described the play itself as an instance of him going for a putback dunk. Unfortunately, Martin was on the receiving end of a push to the back, which sent him flying into Tatum. "That just happened, and if anybody watched it, I clearly got pushed into him. I was going for a putback dunk and the push changed the trajectory. Stuff just happens, it's guys playing full speed ... I'd never try to hurt somebody."
Martin cont.:"That just happened, and if anybody watched it, I clearly got pushed into him. I was going for a put back dunk and the push changed the trajectory. Stuff just happens, it's guys playing full speed ... I'd never try to hurt somebody.", there hasn't been much finger-pointing coming from the Celtics. In fact, anyone who has discussed the play has seemingly chalked it up as something that is going to happen in a physical playoff game.
