Six years ago, the best game ever played on Halloween took place.

On a cold, Fall night, Derrick Rose (Simeon) dropped 50 points (19-31 FG) including four threes (4-7 3PT). It was a Halloween night many basketball find will not forget.

Rose got the start and played a game-high 41 minutes with four rebounds, a game-high six assists, a steal, a block, a game-worst six turnovers, and a +10 plus-minus.

Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Utah Jazz, 128-125 that evening.
