Jan 16, 2021 12:59 PM

Billy Donovan said that the Chicago Bulls are still learning how to win following their 127-125 overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"This is a hard-working group. It's a good group of guys. They want to win. They don't know how to. They are learning how to," said Donovan after the game. 

The Bulls lead by as much as 22 points in the third, and were up by 10 with 1:56 remaining in regulation.

According to ESPN Stats & Information research, teams were 1-2,930 when trailing by 10 or more points in the final two minutes of regulation over the last five years. 

"It is really hard to win in this league if you don't do three things: If you don't win the free throw battle, the rebounding battle and the turnover battle, it's really difficult. And for us, we've gotten destroyed in the turnover battle the whole entire year," added Donovan.

Lauri Markkanen and Ryan Arcidiacono are also out for the Bulls due to health and safety protocols.
