Posts 10 points in reserve role Osman chipped in 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes during Saturday's 94-87 victory over the Thunder.
Impact Although Osman didn't log mich shot volume in the win, his performance was still the fourth-highest scoring total of the night.
