The Oklahoma City secured another blowout victory on Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n
After taking down the Los Angeles Lakers 139-96, OKC beat the Utah Jazz 146-111 on March 5 to improve to 62-16. The pair of wins not only puts Mark Daigneault’s team two victories away from securing the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, it has also given the end of the Thunder’s bench a few opportunities on the court.<\/p>\n
One of the players who has seen more minutes in the past two games is Nikola Topi\u0107, who was recently recalled from the G League<\/a> after the OKC Blue’s season came to an end.<\/p>\n In Topi\u0107’s first two NBA games since February, the rookie guard has showcased his skill set as a playmaker. While he hasn’t racked up any eye-popping statistical performances, the former lottery pick’s potential was on display in both contests.<\/p>\n Against the Jazz, Topi\u0107 finished with 2 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in eight minutes of action, continuing to find his footing at the NBA level. In OKC’s win against the Lakers, Topi\u0107 played 12 minutes, tallying 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.<\/p>\n Nikola Topic four assists in five minutes #playmaker<\/a><\/p>\n
