Smelling like a Rose: Knicks clinch first winning season in 8 years

Derrick Rose turned back the clock, delivering a vintage performance on the 10th year anniversary of his historic MVP season.

The 32-year old Rose scored a season-high 25 points to power the New York Knicks to a 118-104 victory on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.

Back at Memphis, Rose was sensational down the stretch as he was during his one-and-done college season with the Tigers.

Rose took over the game with three clutch baskets to fend off the Grizzlies’ fiery rally.

A mid-season acquisition from Detroit, made 11 of his 15 shots in 26 minutes off the bench as the Knicks clinched their first winning season in eight years.
