Rose has scored 76 points in his first three games, setting a new franchise record for scoring by a reserve to open the season. Rod Beard, The Detroit News
Detroit — Derrick Rose sat intently on the bench, waiting for his time.
The Pistons were struggling Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first quarter, as Tim Frazier, the third point guard, was in the starting lineup for the hobbled Reggie Jackson.
Rose didn’t peer down the bench at coach Dwane Casey. There was no attempt to use the Jedi mind trick to get in the game sooner.
