SACRAMENTO-Out of all of the players on Oklahoma City's superstar-laden team, it was a little-used backup that ensured the Thunder a first-round sweep of the Sacramento Kings in the NBA playoffs.

Reggie Jackson, Oklahoma's third-string point guard, led the Thunder during a key second half stretch that helped Oklahoma City seize the lead and the series in a 107-100 win over the Kings in Game 4.

Jackson-whose name, along with fellow backup Eric Maynor, has appeared in trade rumors all season long-scored 10 points during a key six minute stretch between the third and fourth quarter that helped Oklahoma erase a seven point deficit and take a four point lead with five minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Jackson had averaged just 4.1 points a game in the regular season and hadn't scored in double figures since late March.

Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 23 points, one of three Thunder starters that scored in double figures. Kevin Martin and Russell Westbrook each scored 10 points, with Westbrook adding in seven assists.

In addition to Jackson, Oklahoma City had two other bench players score in double figures. Jeremy Lamb led all bench players with 14 points, while Perry Jones chipped in 10 points of his own.

Game 4 was Oklahoma City's first game with the full starting lineup available; Kendrick Perkins had missed the first three games of the series with a bruised foot.

Thomas Robinson led the Kings with 23 points and nine rebounds, one of four starters in double figures for the Kings; Marcus Thornton scored 21 points and Tyreke Evans scored 11 points, while Aaron Brooks tallied a double-double with 12 points and 12 assists.

In addition, Jason Thompson finished with a double-double off the bench, collecting 10 points and 10 rebounds in the game.

Oklahoma City will face the winner of the Mavericks-Timberwolves series in the Western Conference Semifinals. Dallas currently leads the first-round series 2-1.
