Since winning the NBA’s MVP award in 2011, Wednesday night found Derrick Rose guard breaking down in tears-but only after submitting one of the season’s most stunning performances, a 50-point explosion to lead his Timberwolves past the Jazz(128-125).
After burying his head in a towel to gather himself, Rose was asked what reaching that point total, a career high, meant to him. “Everything, man,” he replied, “I worked my a-- off.”
“I did this for the franchise, the organization, the fans, everybody,” he added. “I’m doing everything just to win, and tonight was a hell of a night.”
