Derrick Rose has lent a big assist to the cause since the Knicks acquired the point guard from the Pistons in February for an MSG sequel.
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue didn’t sound surprised before Rose went out and delivered 25 points on 11-for-17 shooting and eight assists off the bench in the Knicks’ 106-100 win on Sunday at Staples Center.
"Just when he’s healthy, he still can play," Lue said.
