Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio Drains Wild Circus Shot After Foul Sends Him Falling To Floor

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio has played at an incredibly high level since teammate Zach LaVine went down for the season with a torn Achilles.

During Minnesota’s showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday evening, Rubio miraculously drained a shot as he fell to the floor after being fouled by Bucks big man John Henson.

After getting off to an absolutely abysmal start to the 2016-17 NBA season, the Timberwolves (27-38) are now just three games behind the Denver Nuggets (30-35) for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

However, if Rubio and Co. intend on securing a surprise playoff berth, losing to a team like the Bucks that is ridiculously shorthanded isn’t the way to get it done.
