SALT LAKE CITY — You may remember last season when Utah Jazz guard Ricky Rubio finally broke out his shell and started finding his groove during the month of January.
His 11 double-doubles in a career-high 77 starts would ultimately help the Jazz rebound from a tumultuous 19-28 start to earn a fifth-seed in the Western Conference, at 48-34.
