Caleb Martin Leads 76ers Past Celtics

Caleb Martin shined on Christmas Day, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 118-114 victory over the Boston Celtics with a season-high 23 points, including a career-best seven three-pointers. Previously marred by injuries and inconsistent play, Martin's performance was crucial as he exploited the Celtics' questionable defensive strategy, which allowed him open looks. Teammates praised his ability to perform under pressure, with one even likening him to WWE legend The Undertaker. Despite entering the game with only 18 made three-pointers this season, Martin's success against Boston continued, reinforcing his reputation as a 'Celtics killer.' This win marked a significant turnaround for the Sixers, helping them re-enter playoff contention in the Eastern Conference. Martin's health and confidence seem to be improving, suggesting a promising trajectory for both him and the team as they move forward.
