Ricky Rubio had his first career triple-double with (21 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists).

Already without Tony Parker injured, the Texans were at Target Center without Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard, but with Manu Ginobili a bit low. Author of a good match against OKC, Boris Diaw was also average with 6 points, 4 rebounds, 4 steals. Nando De Colo has blackened his scoresheet with 13 points to 4/6 and 2 assists. “Minnesota was more aggressive than us for most of the match, has declared in the San Antonio Express News, Gregg Popocich. They really played very physical. They kicked our ass!”
