In the wake of Ricky Rubio's most recent masterpiece—a 26-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist tour de force against the Thunder in Game 3 on Saturday night—all anybody wanted to talk about was Utah's starting point guard.
You know, the one who wore a Friends sweatshirt and overalls to his postgame press conference.
"[Ricky] was all over the place. He was a leader. He was talking. He was communicating and playing great defense," Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell said. "He's at his best when he's the most vocal. His play, as you all saw, spoke for itself."
Rubio picked it up when the Jazz needed him the most, scoring 15 second-quarter points—including the go-ahead three—after Utah fell behind by 12.
