BULLS ROOKIE ROSE TIES PLAYOFF RECORD

Rookie Derrick Rose had a playoff debut like few others and led the Chicago Bulls to a victory over the Boston Celtics in today's playoffs. Rose matched Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record with 36 points in his playoff debut, adding 11 assists to lead the Bulls to a 105-103 overtime victory over the defending NBA champions in Game 1 of their best of seven first round series. I think this pretty much sealed his Rookie of the Year award.
