Watch: An Emotional Derrick Rose Scores Career-High 50 Points, Gets Game-Saving Block

Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose shot 19-for-31 for a career-high 50 points on Wednesday night in Minnesota's 128-125 win over Utah.

Rose, 30, is the fifth Timberwolves player to score 50 or more points, joining Kevin Love, Corey Brewer, Mo Williams and Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns set the franchise record last season when he dropped 56 points against the Hawks.

The three-time NBA All-Star set his previous career high of 42 points on February 17, 2011 in the Bulls' last game before the All-Star break. Rose led the Bulls to a 109-99 win over San Antonio while also adding eight assists and five rebounds.
