Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio: Dishes out 14 in win

Rubio produced 13 points (6-13, FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 assists, five rebounds and three steals across 35 minutes in Friday's 97-84 win over the Heat.

Analysis:

Trade? What trade? Rubio hardly seemed to mind his name being bandied about over the past week. leading the way in assists and steals on Friday. He appears to have a stranglehold on the shooting guard role and it seems odd that a trade was even being discussed, unless they were thinking of permanently moving Kris Dunn to the 2. Either way, it matters very little as Rubio is very much a Timberwolf, and is a key cog in the wheel they are spinning to make a playoff push.
