Caleb Martin was ferociously dunked upon during the Miami Heat’s loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday night, and one television network showed him no mercy.
Tatum threw down a massive dunk over Martin in the fourth quarter of Boston’s 102-88 win in Game 4 at Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla. The Celtics star made sure to stare Martin down after the play.
JT REACHED BACK FOR THIS ONE 😠

Following the game, Tatum was interviewed by NBC Sports Boston — the Celtics’ TV partner — on the court. A graphic that appeared below Tatum described him as the “Father of Deuce and Caleb.”

Deuce is Tatum’s 6-year-old son. The five-time All-Star does not have a son named Caleb, so that was obviously a producer’s way of trolling Martin.
Martin, of course, was accused of throwing a cheap shot at Tatum during Game 1. The dunk had to have felt even better for Tatum because of that.
