Owner Real Deal Posted January 29, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 MINNEAPOLIS -- It was a tense tied game late in the fourth quarter, one these nervous fans were used to seeing their Minnesota Timberwolves let slip away. Ricky Rubio then splashed a 20-foot jumper through the net for a lead, and the rookie point guard raised his arms, urging them out of their seats and trying to reassure them that times are changing around here. It's certainly starting to look that way. Rubio scored nine of his 18 points in the fourth quarter and dished out 10 assists to lift the Timberwolves to an 87-79 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Kevin Love had 18 points and 16 rebounds and Nikola Pekovic added 14 points and 10 boards for the Wolves, who have beaten the Spurs two straight times in the same season for the first time since 2000. "We weren't playing to win the game [last year]," Love said of a team that won just 17 times and faltered down the stretch on countless occasions. "This year, we're playing to win the game. We're confident. Real confident."http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120127_SA@MIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
