VIDEO: Rubio uses devastating KG screen, finds Prince for royal flush
Every point guard needs a gritty big man to facilitate a clear path to the basket.
Minnesota Timberwolves floor general Ricky Rubio has just that in Kevin Garnett.
As the 25-year-old Spaniard navigated the sideline with Utah Jazz defender Chris Johnson in tow, Garnett - the 39-year-old "Big Ticket" - set a pick on Rubio's follower that was as painful as it was effective.
Johnson and Jazz bench boss Quin Snyder have every right to be upset with the other four Utah players on the floor for not warning their oblivious teammate of the incoming brick wall which Garnett had erected.
Meanwhile, Rubio proceeded to feed a wide-open Tayshaun Prince for the regal jam.
Rubio - one of the league's craftiest dime-droppers - dished out 17 assists in the win, tying a single-game franchise record.
