CHICAGO — For a player known for long, sweeping drives to the basket, Derrick Rose has shown a notable ability to navigate a path of small and incremental steps.
Rose took another one Friday night, draining a buzzer-beating shot to carry the Chicago Bulls past the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of their second-round playoff series, silencing some doubt in the process about his current form. Afterward, it was Rose who brought up a pair of blunders he had made late in a first-round loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, letting them steal a win.
Rose said he had learned from that experience.
