As a lost draft, Martin's history of struggle is moving. He went from a lost draft to a one-year, $898,000 non-guaranteed contract with the Hornets, then switched to a two-way contract, and then relied on his good performance on the court to make a price for the Hornets to send him a three-year, $4.2 million contract. But he was soon laid off by the Hornets and moved to Miami. He established himself in Miami, first signing a two-way contract, then impressing management to successfully turn positive, and finally getting the Heat to offer him a 3-year, 20.4 million contract. He didn't disappoint the Heat, proving he was worth the money with his on-court performances, and the 27-year-old is shining.

Easy to fight again. The Celtics repeatedly relied on White's offensive counterattack to close the gap. But Martin stepped up for the team again, relying on consecutive offensive performances before the end of the third quarter to help the Heat open the gap to 10 points again.
