#1 2009 Eastern Conference First Round ( Game 1 ) vs Boston Celtics
Stat line: 36 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, and a steal
This has to be #1 on this list. Rose's first playoff game of his career is the best game of his career with the Bulls. The Bulls were pitted against the defending-champion - the Boston Celtics in the First Round of the 2009 NBA playoffs. Playing on the road, in game 1, Rose put on a dazzling show and scored 36 points in a 2-point win in overtime.
Rose was red-hot from the field and went for 12-19 with a field-goal percentage of 63.2. He led both the teams in scoring and assists. Rose played close to 50 minutes scoring 11 points in the fourth quarter. He tied Kareem Abdul Jabbar's record for most points in a playoff debut with 36.
The Bulls ultimately lost in a very closely fought series in 7 games and exited from the playoffs but this series will go down as one of the greatest First Round series of all-time.
