Ricky Rubio set a franchise record on Monday night with his 18th assist of the game, feeding Karl-Anthony Towns for a three late in the fourth quarter.
That wasn't all - by the time the game wrapped, he tallied his 19th dime of the night to lead the Timberwolves to a 119-104 victory over the Washington Wizards. Rubio also recorded 22 points and five rebounds in the contest.

Fittingly, the first player to ever record 17 assists for the Timberwolves was in the house on Monday, too.
The first player in club history to hand out 17 assists? Sidney Lowe, who's sitting on the Wizards bench tonight
