Derrick Rose got out to a fast start in his first preseason game with the Chicago Bulls.
Rose had nine points in the first five minutes of the game and shot 4 of 5, making an explosive fast-break layup where he weaved through two defenders on his way to the basket. He finished the night with 11 points and four rebounds in 14 minutes.
The point guard had struggled with his shot during the Basketball World Cup last month in Spain, making just 15 of 59 field goals (25 percent), including 1 for 19 from 3-point range. Rose finished through contact at the rim and hit an open 3-pointer, but only knocked down one of three outside shots.
