Derrick Rose took over the start of last night's game with stellar offense and some overlooked defense
Derrick Rose took over last night's game early with a defensive effort we have not seen this year. Nick Friedell tweeted before last night's game that coaches were emphasizing defense with Rose, and he seems to have been listening:

Derrick's defensive focus could be seen from tipoff, where he opened the game with outstanding man to man defense on Monta Ellis.
