Precision passing

Ricky Rubio is the first player in more than eight years to register consecutive games with 10-plus assists and zero turnovers. He joins Pooh Richardson as the only Timberwolves to accomplish that feat. Since 1983-84 (in the Basketball-Reference.com database), nobody has done it three games in a row:
