Victor Oladipo is always doing something. He’s on his phone as the media enters the locker room postgame. Then, a team staffer wraps an ice bag around both of his knees before Vic talks to the media.

By that time, a handful of reporters were over …
Victor Oladipo was in a groove Monday night, and he didn’t even know it.
