Continuing his climb back to prominence. Chicago Bulls star point guard Derrick Rose got his first 30-point game in nearly three years in a win over the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. Per ESPN:
“I always say that’s what a player like myself is supposed to do,” Rose said. “I put more pressure on myself than anybody else, I think. I’m my hardest critic. Just going down and being in that situation as a kid, those are the shots that you think about. As a player that wants to get to the highest potential that you possibly can, you want them shots. You want that on your résumé.”
Rose scored 31 points and had five dimes in the Bulls 115-106 victory. The last time Rose scored 30+ points was March 12, 2012.
