There's been one particular Playoffs storyline that's been glanced-over in favor of the many others in the West: Today is Derrick Rose's first playoff appearance since he tore his ACL in 2012 during game one against the Sixers.

A playoff appearance was in doubt after another scare a few months ago. He's now flying today against the Bucks.
In his 13 minutes during the first half, Rose went 6-for-8 for 12 points. These weren't easy 12 points, either. Rose was attacking these young Bucks:
