Best Game: 12/10 V. Golden State Warriors

Martin was a machine this game, perfectly timed at home against arguably the best team in basketball.

He wasn’t given a ton of minutes that game (17) but what he did with that limited run was really amazing. With the team looking to make a statement, Martin ended the game with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and a steal.

He did all of this shooting 5/10 from the floor, 1/2 from three and 2/2 from the line. This level of efficiency, especially against an elite team like Golden State, is an indicator for what’s to come. His spacing was impressive and he did a great job of using his size to dominate in the paint.
