MIAMI — The NBA’s 2023 Sixth Man of the Year comes off one bench in the NBA Eastern Conference finals. The series’ best reserve comes off the other.
With all due respect to Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon and his shiny trophy, no reserve has impacted this best-of-seven series more than Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin.
For Martin, who is coming off a 25-point performance in Friday night’s 111-105 victory at TD Garden that gave the Heat a 2-0 lead, it is a matter of respect earned.
