Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio: Collects double-double Tuesday

Rubio finished with 14 points (4-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 loss to the Thunder.

Analysis:

Rubio was erratic from the field for the second game in a row, but thanks to his work at the charity stripe, he was able to reach double figures in the scoring column for the 10th time in 11 games after being held to two points in Sunday's loss to the Lakers. The point guard is also averaging 10.2 dimes during that 11-game stretch, making him a double-double threat just about every night. He'll have a good shot at reaching that benchmark again Wednesday against Houston, as the playoff-bound Rockets figure to rest or limit several key players.
