Derrick Rose converted a pass from Nikola Mirotic in Friday's game that was initially ruled a dunk, which would have been his first of the season.

But the official play-by-play was later changed to a layup.

Rose described it as a "very high layup," adding: "But I'm getting close."

Rose would like to get back to playing above the rim after years of injuries. 

"When I first came back from the (torn left) ACL, it was all about testing out everything," he said. "I wanted to see how it would feel if I did this certain move, that certain move. Then it was (a torn meniscus in) the right knee. I'm just happy I'm playing consistent games."
