Finally! It finally happened! The Thunder’s first-round pick, the one the fan’s have called for finally got some big time minutes tonight. Cameron Payne, the Murray State-product, was the talk of the town after sparking OKC to a high-scoring defeat of the Milwaukee Bucks.
It seemed to be the passing of the torch tonight for the bench. For the first time all season, D.J. Augustin played ZERO minutes while Payne played 15 minutes, including crunch time. During his time on the floor, Payne had 16 points on 5-of-6 shooting (2-of-3 3pt), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and no turnovers.
