NBA scores 2016: Derrick Rose got the last laugh in his return to Chicago

Derrick Rose didn’t ask to leave the Chicago Bulls. He was traded to the New York Knicks. But he wasn’t given the warm welcome home a former MVP might expect to receive in his former arena. Instead Bulls fans went silent when Rose’s name was read after the team’s tribute video to him and his teammate Joakim Noah. Then he heard some boos as his name was announced in the starting lineup. Noah was applauded throughout.

But it was Rose who got the last laugh as his team took one on the road, 117-104. He wasn’t perfect, but scored 15 points on 6-of-16 shooting. He had a game-high 11 assists and seven rebounds. If you were wondering, his athleticism is still there too:

It was an emotional game all around, and Noah and Rose made sure to express that heading to the bench with the game all but over.

After the win, Noah said “It felt really good. I’m not going to lie. It felt great,” according to the Chicago Tribune’s K.C. Johnson.

The former Bulls duo had a bit of help from Kristaps Porzingis, who lit up the United Center with 27 points on 10-of-15 shooting including four from deep, and added five rebounds to lock up the win.

The Bulls lost, but Dwyane Wade stole the show

Dwyane Wade scored a game-high 35 points on 20 shots and grabbed 10 rebounds. His 2016-17 campaign has thrived on the revival of his deep-ball range and Friday night was no different.

He connected on five 3-point shots in the double-digit loss. That total on its own was just two shy of his total made shots from deep during the entire 74 games he played last season. With 10 makes in his first five games, he’s already eclipsed last year’s mark.

Steph Curry’s 157-game streak of making a 3-pointer ends in blowout loss to the Lakers

One night after destroying the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Golden State Warriors looked exhausted and out of sync in a 117-97 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.

L.A. took a double-digit lead into the half, and held Golden State to just 15 points in the first quarter. They fought off a late third-quarter comeback and pulled away in the final frame.

The young Lakers skipped five years in development for a night, showing what their swarm of talent is capable of. D’Angelo Russell finished with 17 points and four assists to just one turnover. Julius Randle was active on the boards, pulling down 14 (six offensive) to go along with 20 points, and rookie Brandon Ingram had 12 points and six rebounds.

Steph Curry went 0-of-10 from three-point range, snapping his 157-game record of consecutive games with at least one make, and the Warriors as a team shot 16 percent from deep. Klay Thompson shot just 2-of-10, and he and Curry combined for just 23 points.

Growing pains.

Devin Booker caught fire, Anthony Davis and the Pelicans are still winless

Anthony Davis had another double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds, but it again wasn’t enough as the Phoenix Suns topped the Pelicans, 112-111, in overtime.

With 2.3 seconds left in regulation, Lance Stephenson hit the go-ahead fadeaway jumper to put his team up by two points. But off an out of bounds play, Devin Booker hit a game-tying step-back jumper to send the game to extra minutes.

Booker kept it rolling in overtime, with just everything going in.

The 20-year-old finished with a career-high 38 points on 13-of-22 shooting.

DeMar DeRozan is the first player since Michael Jordan 30 years ago to score 30 or more points in his first five games.

The Toronto Raptors beat the Miami Heat, 96-87, behind DeMar DeRozan’s 34 points on 14-of-26 shooting. He reached that point total again without making a three-point shot, and just three of his 145 points this season have come from behind the arc.

He’s still the league’s leading scorer at 35.8 per game and is doing it all on 55-percent shooting. The Raptors are 4-1 because of it.

Play of the night:

Thing you missed:

Hassan Whiteside just grabbed Patrick Patterson’s shot mid-air.
