Saturday night was a memorable one for Derrick Rose Day in Chicago. A game-winning three-pointer by Kevin Huerter gave the Chicago Bulls a 114-111 win over the Boston Celtics, per SportsCenter.

Afterward, Huerter spoke to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network about that moment and invoked Rose's name.

“I was thinking about doing the celebration of D Rose falling into teammates,” he said. He was referring to Rose's celebration after hitting the game-winning shot in Game 3 of the 2015 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
