Derrick Rose's stellar season with the Minnesota Timberwolves continues.
The Timberwolves destroyed the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday by a final score of 128-89 for their fourth-straight win. Rose scored 16 points while shooting 6-of-8 from the field and 4-of-5 from beyond the arc.
With that performance from deep, Derrick Rose is now shooting 48.6 percent from downtown, good for fifth place in the NBA.
After going 4-5 from three tonight, Derrick Rose is now shooting 48.6 percent from three, good for 5th in the NBA. He's now 36/74 for the season and will finish November with a 55 percent clip. God dam!!!

Derrick Rose's offseason work has been paying off this season. This past summer was the first offseason in a long time where Rose didn't have to rehab an injury and was able to work on his game. The results so far have been mind-boggling. The former MVP scored a career-high 50 points on Halloween against the Utah Jazz and is now a top-five shooter from beyond the arc. Simply inspirational stuff considering Rose has undergone four knee surgeries.
The Timberwolves are 7-2 since the Jimmy Butler trade and look like a completely different team. They entered Wednesday with the best defensive rating in the NBA over the last eight games.
Derrick Rose has a really good shot at winning the Sixth Man of the Year award if he keeps this production up. If the 30-year-old is able to accomplish that feat, he will join Bill Walton as the only two players in NBA history to win an MVP first and then a Sixth Man of the Year award.
