Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio: Fills out stat sheet in Tuesday's loss

Rubio finished with 11 points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight assists, eight rebounds and one steal over 34 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Hornets.

Analysis:

Rubio did a little bit of everything Tuesday, which isn't unusual for a point guard who's no stranger to filling out the stat sheet. What was more surprising was his strong performance from downtown, and Rubio has now hit 4-of-8 three-pointers in the last three contests. While the Timberwolves have a pair of first-round picks in Tyus Jones and Kris Dunn looming as options at point guard, it appears coach Tom Thibodeau is content to keep handing Rubio hefty minute loads so long as he remains productive.
