Ricky loves 4th quarters. I think Wes showed progress. He drove to the hoop several times with multiple good results.
Pek gave the Wolves another option. Darko was good to wear Cousins down and then Pek came in to overpower him. Jim Pete made a pretty preposterous statement, however. He said Pek is better offensively AND defensively than Darko. If that was the case he'd have been playing the past handful of games. He played it well today but you have to understand Pek is far from Bogut, Duncan, KG, Howard on defense. He's just standing there knocking people around half the time. Which I like.
Tough effort on D by Rubio. That is a hard matchup. Evans can really muscle shooting guards and go toe to toe strength wise with players like Kobe. Rubio played his a$$ off on D getting knocked down all night. Both were extremely bothered by the other on D, you could tell. All in all, another test by Rubio, another passing grade. He hasn't really been shown up yet. Surely it will happen, probably by Randy Foye
