3. Rose appears to be “back” in 30-point masterpiece
During the 2014-15 season, there were plenty of instances where you found yourself saying, “Derrick Rose is back!”
On February 12, many found themselves blurting that same sentence out over and over in one of Rose’s best performances of the entire year.
Rose gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a 30-piece on 12-of-24 shooting in a 113-98 victory for the Bulls right before the All-Star break.
Even when things didn’t go right for everyone else in the 15-point loss, Rose still looked the best player on the floor the entire evening.
(I mean, seriously … c’mon.)
