It took Derrick Rose quite a while to get going on Monday night in New Orleans.
For the Pistons’ sake, however, it’s a good thing he came alive when he did.
After going on a dominant fourth-quarter run where he dropped 15 points, Rose drove straight at Jrue Holiday with the clock counting down before spinning and drilling a vintage off-balanced buzzer-beater from the middle of the lane, leading Detroit past the Pelicans 105-103.
He never questioned that final shot, either.
“Excuse my English, but I’m born to do this s--t,” Rose said after the game.
