The Timberwolves got a great road win in Brooklyn last night. Anthony Bennett even re-introduced himself to Mason Plumlee. When Nikola Pekovic spoke with the media after the game, he said the team will do their best to forget the win and move on to the next battle. Ricky Rubio very overtly disagrees.
Here’s Pekovic addressing the media and Ricky popping his head up with an annoyed expression when hearing the answer, by way of CJ Folger.

When CJ asked Ricky about the incident in a tweet, Rubio confirmed he will not the forget the win because “[angry face emoticon] it was awesome lol.”
“@cjzero: @rickyrubio9 I take it Pek's answer surprised you? https://t.co/twMertJtYL” I dont want to forget this win 😠 it was awesome lol.

Ricky’s the best, and why wouldn’t he want to remember this late-game layup after smokin’ Deron Williams?
Pekovic himself contributed after Brooklyn came back in the fourth, taking the Ricky entry pass, then unleashing some pretty footwork on the block with the step-through for the bucket plus the foul:
We’re with Ricky, revel in the victory Pek!

Should the ‘Wolves do their best to forget this win and move on?
