The New York Knicks may have lost a heartbreaker in Miami, but it doesn’t mean the loss came without any silver linings. Derrick Rose played his first game for the team since being traded from the Pistons, and he came out with a bang.

Rose came off of the bench and finished the game with 13 points while shooting 5-9 from the field to go with 3 assists in just 20 minutes. Every time he was on the floor, the offense looked sharper.

It wasn’t just Rose, but the whole 2nd unit looked in-sync.
