A day later, Timberwolves rookie guard Zach LaVine was still shaking his head.
LaVine was on the floor in the second quarter of Wednesday's victory over Miami at Target Center when, on the fast break, Ricky Rubio looked right, then sent a bounce pass left to Anthony Bennett for a thunderous dunk.
Let's just say Miami wasn't the only one fooled by that no-look pass.
"He passed it to Anthony but he looked at me. When Anthony caught it I went like this," LaVine said, slapping his hands. "I was trying to catch the ball. I was like, 'Man, good pass.' Rick said, 'Thanks, I had to look you off on that one. That was a good run.' And I was like, 'Man that was top 10. That was good.' "
