At the end of the day, I can put the thing in the hole. It felt good early on to see a couple go in. I went through a little stretch where I knocked some rust off and got back at it in the fourth (quarter).

Martin scored all nine points in a 9-0 run in the fourth quarter that extended their lead from four to 13 with six minutes remaining. He made a pair of 3s during the flurry and scored the rest on a traditional three-point play. The Celtics never got closer than nine the rest of the way.
