During the final minutes of Friday night's NBA game in Houston, Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio makes an incredible behind-the-back pass to teammate Kevin Love under the basket, setting up Love perfectly for an easy layup. Love started out near the three-point line when he took a dribble and passed it to Rubio. Rubio had his back to the basket, but passed the ball with his right hand behind his back to the perfect spot underneath the basket where Love was waiting. The Timberwolves beat the hometown Rockets 111-98. Love led all players in the game with 33 points and 17 rebounds. Rubio finished with 18 points and led all players with 9 assists.
