After a continued rough patch in the NBA plagued by injuries and trades, Minnesota Timberwolves' Derrick Rose busted out a career-high 50 points during Wednesday (October 31) night's game against the Utah Jazz. Rose's incredible contribution led his team to a 128-125 win over the team that acquired Rose from Cleveland last season in a multi-season trade. Rose never played for the Jazz and he spent a month out of the NBA before being picked up by the Timberwolves.
After the game, Rose was emotional as the crowd yelled "MVP! MVP!" Rose told reporters that the 50-point game meant "everything to him." He added, "I worked my ass off. I did this for the franchise, the fans, the organization. I'm doing everything just to win, and tonight was a hell of a night."
Check out his interview and highlights from the game above.
