Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau offered a very matter of fact answer when asked if he had seen anything different out of point guard Derrick Rose in Saturday’s 121-105 victory over the Rockets.
Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni also didn’t feel much like elaborating on Rose’s turn-back-the-clock performance of 17 points on 16 shot attempts in 21 minutes in Game 3.
“He’s got his juice back,” D’Antoni said.
There’s one thing for sure about Rose’s tenure with the Wolves — he’s always going to see if the juice is there each night.
Rose leads the Wolves in this series in one advanced statistic — usage rate.
