Before the Bulls’ game Tuesday against the Pistons, someone asked coach Billy Donovan a simple question.
Donovan was asked what he wanted to see from his team in what’s left of the regular season.
The response was thought-out and somewhat wordy, but nowhere in it was, ‘‘Go ahead and play soft, embarrassing basketball.’’
No, the players came up with that one all on their own.
In the first of back-to-back games against the Pistons at the United Center, the Bulls hit rock bottom in a 132-92 blowout loss.
