VIDEO: Ricky Rubio shocks Thunder with game-winning three
Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports
Ricky Rubio served as the ultimate decoy on Friday night.
Entering the game shooting 30.3 percent from 3-point range, the Timberwolves point guard didn't appear to pose much of a threat as he sat stationary just behind the arc.
However, thanks to a beautiful pass from Andrew Wiggins, Rubio was able to set his feet and sink a long bomb in the face of Kyle Singler, giving Minnesota a 99-96 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Rubio got quite the bench reaction for his last-second hoist, including a hilarious fist pump from interim coach Sam Mitchell.
