Derrick Rose makes preseason Knicks debut in blowout loss to Rockets

Share

It may only be the preseason, but for the first time in a game Derrick Rose wore a New York Knicks jersey.

Rose scored 16 points in a 130-103 loss in Houston on Tuesday. The former Bull and league MVP shot 7-for-14 from the field, had five assists, two rebounds, a block and committed two turnovers in 25 minutes.

Another notable former Bull now on the Knicks, Joakim Noah, did not play due to a strained left hamstring.

The Knicks gave up 68 points in the first half against former coach Mike D'Antoni's up-tempo style. D'Antoni is in his first year as coach of the Rockets.
