The Pacers were 41-12 going into last night's game against the T-Wolves. They are one of the league's elite.
Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio didn't let it bother them. Love ended up with a season high 42 points while grabbing 16 boards. Rubio had a career high in assists with 17 as the Wolves got off to a great start and played the Pacers pretty even the rest of the way.
Result? Wolves win.
That's Love EIGHTH straight game with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds. No player has done that since Shaq in early 2005. It was also his 14th 30/10 game of the season. Best in the league this so far.
As good as last night was for Love, Ricky Rubio's passing entered a whole 'nother orbit. And the Wolves are STILL without two regular starters in Martin and Pekovic.
I can't feel too bad about the Wolves being below .500. Compared to other franchises in Minnesota they are positively dazzling, and they can compete with the league's best when they are playing well.
Let's hope last night was a sign of things to come rather than just another anomoly.
Time will tell.
Still mildly interested.
