The 30-year-old Rose led the T-Wolves to a 128-125 win. He also saved the game by blocking the final shot attempt by the Jazz.

D-Rose was understandably emotional after he went off and his T-Wolves teammates showed him lots of love.

Nobody was happier with the performance than Jimmy Butler, who is trying to force a trade. If Rose is the Derrick Rose of old, it should male the T-Wolves decision to part ways with him a little easier.
