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.
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.
