Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose provided the most memorable moment of the 2015 NBA playoffs so far Friday night.
The Cleveland Cavaliers tied Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at 96-96 with under a minute to play in the fourth quarter when J.R. Smith hit a 3-pointer. The Bulls won the game on their next possession when Rose hit an off-balance three that banked off the glass and through the net.
The shot also produced a classic Tom Thibodeau fist pump.

The victory sent the United Center into a frenzy and gave Chicago a 2-1 series lead. Game 4 is Sunday.
